The REVHYDRO consortium meeting took place at HES – Campus Energypolis in Sion, Switzerland, bringing together all project partners for a productive exchange on the progress achieved so far and the next steps planned within the project. During the meeting, partners presented their latest activities, discussed the results obtained across the different work packages, and shared updates on the ongoing research and implementation tasks. Each partner had the opportunity to contribute to the discussions, providing a clear overview of the current stage of the project and the activities planned for the next implementation period. The working sessions focused on reviewing project progress, aligning future actions, and strengthening collaboration among consortium members. Discussions also addressed the next steps required to support the integration of circular economy principles into the hydropower sector, in line with the overall objectives of the REVHYDRO project.
The meeting was attended by all REVHYDRO partners: Luleå University of Technology, RESCOLL, INCDIE ICPE-CA – National Institute for Research and Development in Electrical Engineering, University of Stuttgart, “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galați, Haute Ecole Specialisée de Suisse Occidentale, GE Vernova, EDF, and CNR – Compagnie Nationale du Rhône. The consortium meeting also provided a valuable opportunity for knowledge exchange, open dialogue, and coordination between academic, research, and industry partners. Through these collaborative discussions, the partners continued to define practical pathways for achieving the project objectives and supporting a more sustainable and resource-efficient hydropower sector. We sincerely thank Michel Cervantes, REVHYDRO project coordinator, for his guidance and continued support throughout the project. We also express our gratitude to the hosts at HES – Campus Energypolis, as well as to Aline Dayer, Cécile Munch, and Véronique Marchisio, for the warm welcome, excellent organization, and support in making this meeting possible.
Through the continued involvement of all partners, REVHYDRO advances its mission of contributing to a more circular, sustainable, and resource-efficient future for hydropower.
