About this event

A rapid shift toward renewable energy, sustainable fuels, and sustainable development is imperative for the European Union to meet the Green Deal target to become climate-neutral by 2050. To reach this ambitious objective, a concerted action involving a large variety of actors (e.g., industries, public institutions, citizens, etc.) with different needs and priorities is necessary.

RES4CITY's overarching goal is to enhance the development of sustainable renewables and fuel technologies in cities by promoting sustainability and circularity and by deploying an innovative educational programme co-designed with stakeholders to develop highly skilled human capital.

RES4CITY will work on

1) How technology is going to affect the education ecosystem, focussing on digitalisation, gamification, AI and web platforms;

2) Reduce inequalities and provide inclusive opportunities for women and working classes that are not able to follow traditional education pathways;

3) Create a microcredentials basket centred on the open-education principle targeting the knowledge integration of young STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and non-STEM graduates (i.e., Bachelor, Master, and PhD) and the re-skilling of professionals from a wide variety of industries and career paths,

The introduction of innovative energy paradigms is pivotal to guarantee a sustainable development that bolsters decarbonisation, improves environmental conditions (i.e., reduction of air pollution and improvement of waste management), and promotes circularity in Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to make them a zero-waste resource. RES4CITY tackles circularity, sustainability and educational aspects of RES and Fuel Technologies (FT). The project focuses on urban contexts since most of the EU population is concentrated in cities where the consumption of resources (i.e., energy, water, land, etc.) has been steadily increasing.
