Introduction.
This survey aims to identify current and emerging needs for Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) research facilities and the services they offer and explore synergies with other renewable energy technologies. The outcomes of this survey will contribute to an optimal design of the EU-SOLARIS ERIC. Therefore, your inputs are crucial for shaping the future renewable energy research landscape in Europe, in which cross-cutting technology leadership is on the top priorities.

This survey will be disseminated through various channels, including international events, project workshops, and targeted outreach to relevant research communities. Interviews will also be conducted to gather more in-depth information. All data collected will be treated confidentially and used solely for the purpose of the project SOLARIZE
