The Consortium brings together partners from Europe and MAGHREB countries, whose shared goal is to establish a common Euro-Mediterranean Innovation space. The common innovation area shall be built around the three major objectives of MAGHRENOV: Building human resources and knowledge capacity, fostering innovation on Mediterranean RE&EE markets, and bringing together RE&EE initiatives in the EU and Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC). The final objective is to support the development of sustainable energy and to establish a dynamic research and innovation system facilitating the mobility of young academics among businesses and the research sector in the EU and MPC. Following these objectives, MAGHRENOV activities are devoted to capacity building (human resources as well as research & innovation infrastructures) on the one hand, and to business creation (including joint financial support to EuroMed innovation projects in the RE&EE sector) on the other hand. Under capacity building, MAGHRENOV addresses both human resources and the capturing and structuring of valuable knowledge in the knowledge database. These activities are designed to enable further RE&EE innovations, as well as to provide a sound basis for optimal business creation. Capacity building activities also include the necessary infrastructures to ensure quality research, highly reliable technological benchmarks or high- level training programs which are key to achieving non-trivial and valuable innovation. Finally, invaluable market intelligence will be gained from joint innovative technology roadmaps and competence mapping, highlighting the specific Euro-Mediterranean Innovation Space (EMIS) conditions for RE&EE for innovation and business creation.
