Worldwide research cooperation for tomorrow's energy supply – Research Cooperation International Energy Agency

Energy R&D 2018: Public Expenditures in Austria The public energy research expenditures of Austria in 2018 amounted to 144,1 million euros, increasing the expenditures of 2017 by 4,7 million euros. The research areas of energy efficiency, smart grids, storage and renewables define the priorities of the publicly financed energy research in Austria.

IEA C3E Workshop Women in Energy April 11th, 2019 in Vienna: About 70 participants took the opportunity to network with role models and learn from international initiatives and Austrian good practices which aim to promote gender equality in energy companies.

Workshop: IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Research Co-operation The results of the ongoing projects and successful Austrian projects had been presented and the possibilities of involving Austrian experts from research and industry had been discussed. More than 80 participants joined the workshop on June 5th, 2019.

Austria's Way into the Future of Energy - Strategies and Success Stories This broschure illustrates strategies and success stories from research & development for a sustainable energy future.

About the IEA

About the IEA Research Cooperation

Until the mid 1970's energy supply policy was a side issue for the industrialized nations: all the energy services needed could be provided with the fossil sources of energy available in the market.The oil crisis in October 1973 was a turning-point in national and international energy policies - for the first time the extent of dependence on the oil-exporting countries was revealed, and the security of the supply of energy in future seemed to be in jeopardy.

As a reaction to the crisis, the International Energy Agency (IEA) was set up in 1974 as an autonomous entity within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), with headquarters in Paris.

Austria is one of 16 founding members; today the IEA has 29 members (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA, UK).

The IEA is committed to advising on and coordinating national energy policy in the member states.
