EL-practice
The EL-practice project brings together six partners. The project will develop an educational programme aimed at energy literacy for young adults (29-39 years old), aiming to empower people with the competences, skills, knowledge and confidence to take responsibility for their life choices and to actively engage in actions to create a sustainable society.
The overall objective of the ENERGee WATCH programme is to establish a peer learning programme that will enable regional and local authorities to identify, monitor and verify their sustainability actions in a timely and accurate manner. The learning will focus on local/regional/provincial administrative units and their agencies responsible for collecting and monitoring energy data and energy plans. ENERGee Watch goes aims at enabling accurate and successful collection, dissemination and validation of data, monitoring and verification practices, and the selection of appropriate monitoring indicators in cities and regions across the EU.
The project VR versus Climate Change (Virtual Reality based educational approach in tackling of Climate Change) is co-financed within the framework of the Erasmus+ project and includes 9 partners from four countries, of which 2 are from Slovenia. The main goal of the project is to raise awareness and educate students about the climate changes we are witnessing, and thus encourage them to find solutions and to deal responsibly with the environment and waste. The purpose of the project is to present the issue of climate change to students through various activities during the school year. In the affiliated schools, various activities will be carried out to raise awareness about climate change and activities that will consequently reduce the consumption of resources and the amount of waste.
The project partnership includes four primary schools from Slovenia, North Macedonia, Croatia and Greece, as well as five professional organizations that will work with teachers and students and ensure the transfer of knowledge and experience in the field of environmental protection. In addition to KSSENE, Gorica Elementary School also participates in the project as a partner from Slovenia
CERVINO facilitates the exchange and visualisation of energy data within the Alpine territory. It sets up a stable and reliable system that enables a better collection, management, update and use of Alpine energy data. The project improves the Energy Survey conducted in 2017 and 2019 in the framework of the EU Strategy for the Alpine Region (EUSALP) developing a simple, user-friendly energy data management tool. Data entry and processing of the management tool will be facilitated and a roadmap will ensure regular surveys on energy data. The Energy Survey will support decision-making processes on energy matters across the Alps. This project is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Alpine Space programme.
The main goal of the EXCITE project is to implement the well-established energy management scheme of the European Energy Award – eea in Central and Eastern European municipalities, enabling them to become trusted partners to the investors and engaging local communities for deliberate climate action. This will help to attract new innovative businesses to involved cities and municipalities and will intensify the local economics and supporting them to increase the living standards of local communities, proactively contributing to the energy transition. Through applying the eea methodology the project will enhance the implementation od energy efficiency measures at local level through securing the necessary technical, economic and social conditions for attracting of private investors, promoting public entrepreneurship and successful leveraging of the scarce public resources.
The Danube Region holds huge potential for sustainable generation and storage of renewable energy. However, to date this region is highly dependent on energy imports, while energy efficiency, diversity and renewables share are low. In line with the EU climate targets for 2030 and the EUSDR PA2 goals DanuP-2-Gas advanced transnational energy planning by promoting generation and storage strategies for renewables in the Danube Region by coupling the electric power and gas sector. DanuP-2-Gas brought together energy agencies, business actors, public authorities and research institutions via the Danube Energy Platform. Based on the platform developed during DTP project ENERGY BARGE it has incorporated all pre-existing tools and i.a. an Atlas, mapping prior unexamined available biomass and energy infrastructure.
The major challenge for public administrations is to reduce energy consumption in existing public buildings without significant construction works. Public administrations, however, lack reliable solutions and applicable integrated approaches to reduce this energy consumption. TARGET-CE collected, adjusted and deployed new ICT tools, financial models, action plans and trainings to the local and regional administrations and integrated them into territorial and thematic strategies.
The lack of the overall understanding of the impact of energy-efficient investments has made it difficult for policymakers to integrate it into their policymaking process. There was a need to gather evidence on the benefit of energy efficiency in ecological and socio-economic terms. These were the challenges that project EERAdata has addresses over the three years with the help of academics and experts throughout Europe. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020.
Project partners worked with several municipalities to identify old building stock that was upgraded to be more energy efficient. The project encouraged local authorities to not rule out the renovation of old building stock – thus transforming regions and municipalities towards a sustainable and energy-efficient future. Partners had worked with 2 pilot local authorities City of Copenhagen in Denmark and the Municipality of Velenje in Slovenia to create a decision-making tool that indentified older building stock that could be upgraded to be more energy efficient.
The team behind EERAdata accessed the technical and socio-economical information across the relevant sector to develop the appropriate methodology and data analysis framework to plan and compare investment and impact in Energy Efficient Buildings.
This data and information was then used to create a user-friendly tool that enables policymakers to plan and prioritise EE Investment.
The ENTRAIN project was co-financed by the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE transnational program, the main objective of which was to promote structural cooperation between public authorities and key stakeholders at the transnational level and to extend knowledge of the systematic, integrated and efficient design of small district heating systems in 5 target regions (IT, DE, HR, SI, PL) based on renewable heat sources (solar energy, biomass, waste heat, heat pumps and geothermal energy).
The end results helped to reduce CO2 and fossil fuel emissions, improved local air quality and brought socio-economic benefits for local communities by growing technical expertise and putting investment in innovative financial tools into operation.
The ENTRAIN project launched investments in the construction or renovation of nine district heating networks and the preparation of nine heat planning studies, together with the development of three innovative local and regional financing schemes and the adaptation and adoption of the existing Austrian QM Holzheizwerke quality management system in at least three target regions.
Project aim was to give its contribution in increasing of present and future generations of secondary schools students’ skills and competences to face different challenges in everyday social life from different perspective and to become active members of their local communities.
The project was developing a new innovative students-centered educational approach as opportunity for secondary schools' students to observe “real life” situations from multiple perspectives students had to organize own Virtual town and also to think as an active members of its virtual community and to develop own strategies in finding appropriate solution for faced challenges from the aspect of authorities as well as from interest of community.
