The interdisciplinary board of experts looks into the possibility of mutually beneficial cooperations between Europe and Africa in the area of renewable energy. The general technical feasibility of large-scale CSP-projects is endorsed by the SEPA-panel, but further considerations of judicial, political, social, geographical, and historical preconditions need to be assessed to guarantee a successful implementation of the project. Only then the participation structure can be coequal for the African and European parties. Since its formation in 2007, the board discusses and analyzes chances and risks of solar thermal cooperation on the basis of latest technological knowledge. The unique composition of this group allows a broad consideration of the subject out of the perspectives of political, economic, and social science, as well as law, history, and geography. Numerous seminars, an extensive network of African-European cooperation, international conferences, form a broad and versatile outlet to evaluate the concrete initiatives of the project.
