Who: You and visiting renewable energy researchers from KleE*
What: A meeting to explore research and collaborative opportunities
*The visiting scholars are all part of a consortium called KleE, which is a German acronym for Small Scale Renewable Energy Systems. KleE is comprised of representatives from the University of Freiburg, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, and the Department of Microsystems Engineering in Freiburg and is funded by the federal state of Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, Soitec, and the Rainer-Lemoine Foundation.
