On 5 April 2016 the JRC presented the interactive and collaborative online European Energy Efficiency Platform. This beta platform is conceived to fill the gap opened by scattered data and fragmented knowledge resulting from a rapidly growing energy efficiency market. It is expected to be both a one-stop shop for information retrieval and a meeting point for experts to exchange data and reduce redundant activities.
The European Energy Efficiency Platform (E3P) launch event, occurring in Brussels on the 5th of April, had an introductory roundtable session, according with the agenda.
Some of the conclusions can be found in the following text:
