Upcoming Free Webinars

We’re excited to invite you to join us on April 27, for the first out of six webinars on capacity building for European public authorities that we are organizing as part of the ongoing CitizEE project.

In the first webinar, we will deal with the ways in which European public authorities can scale up investments for energy efficiency. The webinar, starting at 15.00 until 16.30 on April 27, will provide an overview and introduction mainly for public authorities (municipalities and regions) on where and how to start when assessing energy efficiency investments.

Interested participants will learn in this webinar about:

the motivations and means behind different financial instruments,
get hints for implementing and building their customized financing scheme, for
launching large scale investment programs for the renovation of their buildings and
attracting greater levels of private‐sector investments, namely from citizens and communities.

International Womens Day

Gender equality in European projects is key to creating new and innovative ideas and solutions. Because a pool of diverse, committed, capable and talented people with unique personalities has the greatest potential to create a sustainable tomorrow. That’s why within the CitizEE project, we have made gender equality one of our core values and are fortunate to have amazing and influential women in our consortium.

As a team, we unleash the greatest potential of each individual in our consortium.
