GENERA project partners will meet on April 3 and 4 in Athens to discuss the progress of the project and participate in a seminar organized by the University of West Attica on the challenges of energy transition in the most touristic Greek islands.
The Instituto Tecnológico de Energías Renovables (ITER) will participate in the next meeting of the GENERA project, which will take place on April 3 and 4 in Athens, Greece. This project, co-funded by the European Commission as part of the LIFE Program, brings together partners from Greece, Italy and Spain to address the challenges of energy transition in the Greek tourist islands.
During these two days, ITER research staff will travel to the Greek capital to participate in the fourth coordination meeting of the GENERA project and will also have the opportunity to attend the seminar “Energy transition in the Touristic Islands: The challenge in Greece”. Organized by the University of West Attica, which is also part of the project consortium, the seminar is aimed at local key players in order to share concerns, challenges and good practices on the road to sustainability.
The seminar, which will be held at the Ancient Olive Grove Campus of the University of West Attica, will address important issues related to the energy transition in the most touristic Greek islands. It will be attended by local experts, such as Michalis Fratzakis, technician of the urban planning department of the island of Kos, who will present the pilot energy saving program for public lighting on the island, and Krokidas Aristotle, chemical engineer specialized in liquefied natural gas, who will talk about his experience in energy generation projects using floating barges, among others.
On the 5th, the fourth meeting of the GENERA project consortium will be held, where the implementation status of the project activities will be evaluated and the next actions will be planned, such as the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) program aimed at training public authorities on energy transition issues.
The GENERA project, entitled “Revitalizing Energy Transition in Touristic Islands”, is co-financed by the LIFE program and involves the following partners: from Spain, the Polytechnic University of Valencia, as project coordinators, Global Mediterraneo S.L. and the Technological and Renewable Energy Institute; from Greece, UniWA and the Development Agency of the South Aegean Region READ S.A.; and from Italy, the partners UniverCities and Maggioli.
