In 2011, the Brandenburg Economic Development Board (ZAB) organized a conference with regional stakeholders from the energy sector to discuss and prioritize measures to support the further development in this sector. One of these prioritized measures included in the draft master plan for energy technology is to create an overview of existing research expertise in the fields of bioenergy and wind power. This includes a survey and evaluation of the relevant actors and their R&D projects from the last five years. Main goal of this survey is to identify promising research topics and to facilitate the identification of suitable partners for future research projects in Berlin-Brandenburg.
