1 RENEWABLE ENERGIES Chair University of Évora An overview: history, strategy, on going projects Março 2016 Manuel Collares Pereira (Chairman) Março 2016 Manuel Collares Pereira

2 Renewable Energies Chair : background Solar Energy at U.Évora Located in the heart of the region with highest DNI potential in Portugal (and one of the highest potential in Europe) the Univ. Évora is investing in the development of activities in the field of RE with a particular focus on Solar Energy: Engineering License in RE(first in Portugal) Master Sc. degree in Solar Energy Engineering Doctoral program in Mechatronics and Energy ÉVORA Aiming at establishing world class R&D activities in this field, the RE Chair was created in November 2010, with a particular focus on solar concentration technologies and applications.
