NERA stands for: Netherlands Energy Research Alliance
Our organisation comprises of almost all academic research organisations in The Netherlands that conduct Energy Research.
Welcome
Achieving sustainable energy for everyone is one of the biggest challenges we are facing. For a fast transition we need new and better technologies, but we also need to apply them at scale. Many researchers in the Netherlands are committed to developing knowledge and technologies that help to make the energy transition a reality.
Within the Netherlands’ Energy Research Alliance, universities and research institutes cooperate on energy. Together, we develop the energy research agenda and we advocate strong and effective programmes for energy R&D. We exchange knowledge between the members, but we also want to share our knowledge with the world.
