The European Academy of Bozen/Bolzano (EURAC) is a private research centre located in the heart of the Alps. With a focus on mountain regions, but a vision that reaches to Europe and beyond, researchers come to EURAC from all over the world to find solutions for the most challenging issues of our age, such as the climate change.
Developing technologies that take the environment into account holds a particular significance in a sensitive and vulnerable ecosystem such as the Alps. This is why researchers of the EURAC- Institute for Renewable Energy are concentrating on solar energy and energy efficiency in buildings to preserve the territory’s natural resources while improving the quality of life of the inhabitants.
