'Save Energy Now' Conference, Brussels, Belgium
16 April 2013 - 17 April 2013
Austria
A conference entitled ‘Saving Energy Now’ will be held from 16 to 17 April 2013 in Brussels, Belgium.
The EU aims to cut its energy consumption by 20% by 2020. However, current estimates tend to show the EU is not on track to achieving this objective. As a result, new measures on energy efficiency are now being proposed.
The European PROMISE Project – launched in 2012 and funded by the European Commission under the Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) programme – will host a European awareness conference on energy-efficient consumer behaviour in European Islands. The project aims to solve the issue of energy use still being largely invisible to the user, while being rapidly increasing due to larger homes, new services and additional appliances. By sharing information and experience, energy agencies from Samsø (Denmark), Iceland, Rhodes (Greece) and Tenerife (Spain) aim to promote tried-and-tested methods for reducing the energy consumption of households.
The event will seek to promote energy savings and awareness by spreading knowledge and experiences on how to reduce the energy consumption of households. Stakeholders and attendees will have the opportunity to discuss and exchange on how to successfully implement the project-tested methods.
The PROMISE project team will select and invite experts from European islands interested in learning about the project and replicating an awareness campaign in their own local island contexts. It is expected to invite 20 experts coming from at least 10 different islands. The invitation contains the reimbursement of travel costs, i.e. flight and hotel accommodation for the one and a half day event. Please submit your Expression of Interest by 15 February 2013.
The event is free and to register please see the following: http://brusselsconference.ieepromise.eu/(opens in new window)
