The network's objective is to coordinate national research groups working on energy modeling from different perspectives and methodological approaches.
- To leverage existing synergies and complementarities among the various groups that would comprise the network.
- To align the research priorities of the different groups so that they adapt to and address the country's strategic challenges in the energy transition.
- To establish a national reference group in energy modeling that can support policymakers and stakeholders involved in decision-making.
- To foster capacity building in energy modeling in Spain through training activities jointly organized by the network, through co-supervision of doctoral theses, and through short research stays for doctoral and master's students at network centers.
- To strengthen the international presence of national research groups through participation in supranational networks and initiatives.
- To participate jointly in national and international R&D&I projects. - To communicate to society the results of the network's lines of research, such as the impacts of the energy transition and decarbonization alternatives.
