Cresym

CRESYM is non-profit association, gathering industrial & academic research organisations, and acts transparently for the general interest, addressing new and/or complex, low TRL, technical challenges of the future, fast-evolving European energy system. We foster efficient collaborations on low-TRL R&D issues of general interest; We promote, and rely on, open source principles; We shall maintain useful technological building blocks available for all researchers & engineers (“commons”). We reconcile security and IPRs when developping opensource deliverables. Opensource, non contaminating licences are key to ease the dissemination among operators, manufacturers and vendors in a fair, neutral manner. We organise collaborative, efficient R&D works, with practical intermediary outputs. We build up on, as well as comfort, support and promote other existing opensource initiatives. Our President, resp. Vice-President, are Pr Antonello Monti (RWTH Aachen) and Pr Peter Palensky (TU Delft). Our founding members are 4 research institutions (Fraunhofer Gesellschaft IEE, RWTH Aachen, TU Delft, University of Ljubljana) and 4 companies (ELES, RTE, swissgrid, TenneT).
