Through the SHARED GREEN DEAL project, a set of associations from all parts of Europe join forces to investigate the priorities of the European Green Deal, including energy efficiency or the circular economy. The long-term goal is to gain public acceptance and commitment to the European Green Deal.

The main objective of the SSH CENTRE is to accelerate the climate transition in Europe. To reach it, the project will collaborate with the stakeholders across business, research or policy, including citizens.

The REDI4HEAT project will help address bottlenecks in current national energy strategies and facilitate the implementation of renewable heating and cooling systems. The consortium consists of five member states: Poland, Croatia, Greece, Portugal and Germany.

The SUSTAIN project aims to make smart buildings even smarter, as they do not yet have a sense of awareness. This will be achieved through the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) processing with precision sensors and self-monitoring systems that will make probabilistic reasoning possible.

The DiTArtIS project aims to strengthen excellence in research and innovation, especially at UTC (Universitatea Tehnică din Cluj-Napoca), and to improve the digital skills of its staff. This is because digitalisation is key to achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal and contributing to the transition towards energy efficient buildings and green energy.

EASI ZERo proposes a global system to cut the environmental impact by rising the thermal performance of buildings’ envelope by 20% with bio-sourced and recycled materials. This include grown mycelium, wood fibres, low carbon foam, recycled raw material for spayed renders, multifunctional building bricks, and healthy finishes. 

CEEGS (CO2 based electrothermal energy and geological storage system) is a cross-sectoral technology for energy transition, with a renewable energy storage system based on the transcritical CO2 cycle, CO2 storage in geological formations and geothermal heat extraction. 

The EU Mission 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 states that while cities represent only 4% of the EU’s land area are home to 75% of EU citizens, contributing to more than 65% of energy consumption and for more than 70% of CO2 emissions. As such, they have the potential to help the EU to reduce climate emissions by 55 % by 2030 and to become climate-neutral by 2050. The EU-funded CITIES 4.0 project aims to translate the European Climate Policy at the regional and local levels. The consortium consists of four innovation ecosystem partners from Brainport Eindhoven, Leuven, Turku and Bologna.

"GoGreen: green strategies to conserve the past and preserve the future of cultural heritage" will work together with scholars and socio-economists to ensure its tools and methods generate results for everyone’s benefit and for the European Green Deal – a set of policy initiatives that target a climate-neutral EU by 2050.

Designing an Irresistible Circular Society (DESIRE) aims to create an alternative way forward for the built environment supporting the EU mission of ‘100 climate-neutral and smart cities’. Against seemingly insurmountable challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion we need to rethink our approach to finding solutions.
