Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin

Helmholtz‐Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) is a research center with a strong reputation for its expertise in energy research and materials science. HZB operates the synchrotron BESSY II, which facilitates cutting-edge studies on materials, and it is home to extensive synthesis and analytical laboratories. HZB has extensive expertise in the analysis, development, and optimization of renewable energy generation, storage, and conversion technologies placing it at the forefront of the field. In fact, HZB is recognized as one of the world's leading institutions in the development of thin-film photovoltaic technologies and has, e.g., recently developed a perovskite/Si tandem solar cell with a certified world record efficiency of 32.5 %. Beyond its pure technical expertise, HZB is known for its collaborative approach to research, working closely with other research institutions, universities, and industry partners across the world to tackle complex scientific challenges. HZB consistently hosts workshops, conferences, and other high-profile events to promote knowledge exchange and collaboration, including the co-organisation of the annual plenary table focused on the energy transition within the framework of the Science summit Falling Walls.

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin is a member of the Helmholtz Association, Germany's largest research organisation, that addresses major pressing questions from science, industry and society by conducting research and developing solutions in six strategic areas, including energy and climate on regional, national and international level in partnership with research institutions, industry, society and politics. The President of the Helmholtz Association strongly supports GDU. The Helmholtz Association will contribute to the GDU project with the comprehensive scientific expertise of its excellent scientists.

DiXi Group

DiXi Group is a think tank founded in 2008 in Kyiv. Its purpose consists in being an engine for the quality changes in energy policy, achieving new standards and practices of decision-making in the sector – through the promotion of policy analysis products, strengthening the role of expert communities and civil society, creating open platforms for interaction and professional discussions, dissemination of best practices, knowledge and skills for successful reform.

DiXi group as an associated partner will contribute to the GDU work in the field of energy and climate, advising the government, running projects, issuing policy papers on relevant energy- and climate issues and also contributing to capacity-building activities to increase the potential of the central and local government institutions in Ukraine.
