European Federation of Executives in the Sectors of Energy and related Research
The FECER puts the skills of its members at the service of managers in the energy and research sectors in Europe. From now on, it also wants to make its voice heard more loudly on energy and research issues. « Preserving Europe’s economic and climatic future, thanks to all low-carbon energies, while respecting technological neutrality, is a priority that requires the mobilisation of everyone« , declares Anne LASZLO, the association’s new president.

At the Ignalina nuclear power plant in Lithuania, everything is huge. The building, which housed the two RBMK reactors and the engine room, is 660 metres long. The two 1500 MW reactors, commissioned in 1983 and 1987, were the most powerful in the world at the time. A third of the 4 planned reactors was under construction when Lithuania chose to join the European Union. 5,000 men and women were producing electricity in the geographical triangle of Lithuania, Latvia and Belarus. So it’s hardly surprising that the plant’s employees speak with pride of their industrial heritage. But the closure of this Chernobyl-type boiling water plant was a sine qua non condition for Lithuania’s accession to the European Union. The reactors were definitively shut down in 2004 and 2009 respectively, and their dismantling is largely subsidised by the European Union. Read more
After its annual General Assembly held in Mol, Belgium, the European Federation of Executives in the Sectors of Energy and related Research (FECER) was received by the management of the nearby Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK CEN.
FECER representatives from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Lithuania met in Budapest to better understand the issues and challenges of energy policy in Hungary, and to discuss developments in the composition of the European energy system.
This workshop, which was decided at the end of 2021, proved to be particularly topical in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
A european innovative program supported by CFE Energies and FECER

In July 2015, FECER and CEC signed a letter of support to CFE-CGC Energies, combined with a master network engineering, engaged in their European project « Reinventing industrial relations in Europe with and for Youth : A research applied to energy transition « , developed as part of a call for proposals from the European Commission.
The project aims to raise awareness and increase interest in the issues of social dialogue for students of European universities.
