  1. INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL COOPERATION VIII COMCYT Meeting “Quality Infrastructure & Innovation: Energy, climate change, biodiversity” Washington, 15th of November 2013 Dr. Alexis Valqui

  2. Quality Infrastructure

  3. Several linkages between QI and innovation Source: Harmes-Liedtke, U. (2010): The Relevance of Quality Infrastructure to Promote Innovation Systems in Developing Countries, PTB Discussion Paper 3, Braunschweig

  4. Quality Infrastructure: Research and innovation Research and innovation e.g. in the automotive, forestry, metalworking, energy, aeronautical, optics, chemistry, medical, etc. sectors require of new measurement and testing methods, competent laboratories…. …. and international standards that support the global dissemination of technological developments

  5. Project I: Background information Quality Infrastructure for Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Efficiency (R3E) in LAC - QIREEELAC • Organization of American States as political partner • regional approach focused on Accreditation, Metrology and Standards, represented by regional organizations COPANT, IAAC and SIM • Objective: develop and strengthen QI services for R3E • German Funds for 2011-2015: 2 Mio € • CEPAL, OLADE support on political level • Is part of the German Development agenda to support R3E in Latin America and the Caribbean

  6. The Energy “Value Chain”

  7. Priority areas of activity Renewable Energies Solar Water Heaters Transmission & Distribution (Smart) Grids Transversal AwarenessBuilding & Cooperation Energy Efficiency Household Appliances Energy

  8. Quality Infrastructure & Energy Example: Energy Efficiency Labelling Accreditation • train technical evaluators Energy Certification • increase competence Standarization • distribute knowledge on available standards Testing • improve technical competence Metrology • traceability

  9. Activities 2013 Indicators – one for each priority area Phase 1

  10. Interaction and Impact • New services offered by NMIs in the region • RegOrgs recognize need to reach out to sector • RegOrgs intensify their cooperation • International Renewable Energy Agency IRENA recognizes QI as key success factor for their work –> increasing cooperation • Organización Latinoamericano de Energía OLADE increases attention to QI (International Energy Forum, element of their capacity building) • …

  11. Project II: Background information Quality Infrastructure for Climate Change and Biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean • Organization of American States as political partner • regional approach focused on Accreditation, Metrology and Standards, represented by regional organizations COPANT, IAAC and SIM • Objective: develop and strengthen QI services for climate change and biodiversity • German Funds for 2013-2017: 2 Mio € • Fund structure, 22 proposals were received and clustered in 7 major areas of activities • Is part of the German Development agenda to support the implementation of policies related to biodiversity and climate change
