Added value of a MENA research institution • Multidisciplinarity to address the increasingly crosscutting research questions on energy issues in the MENA context • Independence in order to provide unbiased research (from funding, sponsorship, …) • Strong participation of „Southern“ researchers and institutes to ensure that the research questions actually address the needs of the MENA economies and societies. 03/09/2012 Trends in sustainable energy research in the MENA region 8 Bernhard Brand
