EnercitEE at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels
„Practical Approaches to more energy efficiency for European Cities and Citizens“
On 24 April 2013 EnercitEE hosted a quite special dissemination event at the Committee of the Regions (CoR) Building in Brussels.
The idea of such an event was to ensure that interested European, regional and local authorities/stakeholders get to know EnercitEE, its activities and achievements and take this knowledge back to their regions. Therefore the EnercitEE partnership organised a lunch reception in connection with a meeting of one of the CoR commissions – the Commission for Environment, Climate Change and Energy (ENVE).
EnercitEE poster series revised: New posters inform now about EnercitEE and all 11 sub-projects
After 2 years of EnercitEE the poster series of the project underwent a comprehensive revision. After running successfully two open calls for proposals EnercitEE is now financially supporting eleven sub-projects. Through the exchange of experience and joint as well as regional activities the sub-projects will improve local and regional Energy Efficiency policies for citizens and local authorities. Now several posters show the important role of the sub-projects within EnercitEE and present their aims, contents and planned outcomes.
