The Daidalos Forum is a chance for the policy community to 'fly' new ideas and concepts, and to cast an eye over the current policy landscape from a new perspective. Every two months, REN21 publishes a Daidalos Forum column as the lead article for the REN21 News and Update report. The column also appears on the REN21 home page where users can comment on the article.

Now, we all know the Greek legend of Daidalos and his son Ikaros, who escaped from imprisonment using new and innovative technology, as well as their own and the nature’s energy. The unfortunate Ikaros, however, became a victim of his own youthful exuberance (and failure to listen to his father), flying too close to the sun and melting his fragile wings.

We certainly do not want that to happen to Daidalos Forum authors!


So we have some simple guidelines:

First, we heartily invite your participation in the Forum - both as an author and commentator. To comment, simply click on the button "read more and comment" and enter your remarks in the field below the column text. Your name will appear with your comment, while your email address will not be publicly visible. To author a Forum, please contact the REN21 Secretariat at daidalos@ren21.net.

Second, any postings with personal attacks or inappropriate language will not be posted or will be deleted. We encourage vigorous debate, but not personal attacks. That would be considered flying ‘too high’ and will definitely melt the literary wings of the person posting such material. Splash!

Third, the Forum is only for renewable energy policy issues. Advertising and off-topic contributions will be considered going astray and lead to nowhere. Again, splash!

Fourth, the Forum is not for public disclosure. To ensure the discussions remain open and free, any discussions within the Forum cannot be attributed to any person or organisation.
