The Association of European Renewable Energy Research Centers (EUREC) 
The Association of European Renewable Energy Research Centers (EUREC) is a Brussels-based association focused on promoting research needs and supporting the development of innovative technologies to enable a prompt transition to a sustainable and integrated energy system. EUREC was founded in 1991 as European Economic Interest Grouping (E.E.I.G.), with the goal of improving the quality and scope of European research and development in renewable energy technologies. EUREC members are prominent research and development (R&D) groups spread across Europe, operating in all renewable energy technologies (wind, biomass, small hydro, marine, geothermal, photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity, and solar thermal heating and cooling). Our members also conduct research into supporting technologies such as energy efficiency, storage, distribution and integration, and undertake studies to evaluate the social and economic aspects surrounding renewable energy. EUREC also promotes the development of a highly qualified and trained workforce for the renewable energy sector by coordinating two European Masters in Renewable Energy. In the RES4LIVE project, EUREC contributes to Work Package 6 – particularly surrounding the policy recommendations completed as part of the project – and Work Package 7 with dissemination and communication materials.

Terra Energy (TERRA) 
Terra Energy is an independent, specialized consultancy firm in renewable thermal energy systems, with special expertise in geothermal energy. It is a partner for technical engineering firms and architects, enterprises and real estate developers. Terra Energy performs test drillings, prepares permits, performs geohydrological simulations, prepares the detailed design and monitors the execution activities, including monitoring of the installations in operation. Other activities are research and policy support, commissioned by governments or research institutions.
In the context of the RES4LIVE project, Terra Energy investigates the geothermal potential for livestock farming applications in Europe. Within the project, the focus is on the demonstration sites, the swine farm of EV ILVO in Belgium, the experimental poultry farm of AUA in Greece and the Golinelli pig farm in Italy.
