Stronger IEA links with Brazil, China, India
Joining forces with 'Plus-5' countries is a core IEA activity to boost energy technology's contribution to a clean, clever and competitive energy future. Energy technology ties with Brazil and China were strengthened in November when IEA R&D programmes met key local stakeholders at energy technology workshops in Beijing and Brasilia. Led by the IEA’s NEET initiative (Networks of Expertise in Energy Technology), these events hosted by Brazil and China proved fertile ground for IEA energy technology network experts to engage with host-country colleagues from policy-making, industry, business, research and academia to boost co-operation and exchange. The first NEET workshop took place in Johannesburg (South Africa) in February 2007. The IEA collaborative energy technology network brings together more than 5000 experts around the globe.
Reporting for the OPEN Bulletin on the 1-2 November Beijing NEET workshop, John Gale, General Manager of the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA GHG) underlines the benefits of the event, organised together with the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology and the China Coal Research Institute.

Andreas Hauer, Secretary of the IEA Energy Conservation through Energy Storage Implementing Agreement (ECES), sent us his report on the 19-20 November Brasilia NEET workshop organised together with Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy.
Partnerships with China and India were further reinforced when Chinese and Indian delegations subsequently participated in the 3-7 December 'Committee Week' at the Agency's headquarters in Paris. Guests from these two countries notably attended the two-day session of the IEA Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT).
