Milestone Meeting Accelerates the "Towards a Clean Energy Transition" Project

In a critical step forward for the "Towards a Clean Energy Transition" project, partners from across Europe convened in an online meeting on December 18th, 2023, leveraging the power of connectivity to outline the next phases of this pivotal initiative. Aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing the quality of life globally, the project stands as a beacon of hope and action in the face of climate challenges. The meeting, hosted via Zoom from 09:00 to 10:00 am (CEST), saw key participants from Italy, Latvia, and The Netherlands, including Viola Fonnesu of Trevessu, Ibrahim Elrefaei of MIHI, and the dedicated team from Eupro Training, come together to deliberate on the upcoming International Training on "Energy Democracy" and to discuss the foundational structure for baseline research critical to the project's success. Highlights of the Meeting: Eupro Training's Insightful Updates: A comprehensive presentation on the organization of the upcoming training in the Netherlands was delivered, detailing a meticulously planned course designed to unfold over two days. Participants will have the opportunity to engage deeply with the concept of "Energy Democracy," exploring how citizens can champion energy independence. The proposed venue, Don Bosco in Assel, promises an immersive learning environment that aligns perfectly with the project's ethos and budgetary considerations. Foundational Baseline Research: Viola Fonnesu unveiled the blueprint for an ambitious study intended to serve as the project's baseline, aiming to dissect the energy transition landscape across Europe with a keen focus on regulatory frameworks, implementation strategies, and sector-specific skills and training needs. Next Steps Outlined: As the meeting wrapped up, the partners solidified their commitment to the project's forthcoming milestones, including finalizing the Dutch training venue, confirming the detailed training agenda, and the strategic selection of participants from each country. The collaborative spirit of the meeting underscored the project's overarching goal: to empower communities and individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary for a sustainable future.
