„Energy saving and production as an asset in the alpine space”

Goal of the Seminar:

With the Alpine Space programme 07 to 13 as the background, the goal of the seminar is to distribute the networking ideas with a thematic focus „Energy efficiency and sustainable production in the Alpine Space”.

The seminar/workshop should help to spread important topics concerning the sustainable use and production of energy in the Alpine Space. It should initiate new co-operations.  Within the framework of the seminar, energy initiatives will be shown, and actors and respective contacts will be facilitated.  The seminar should have a positive effect on the creation of qualitative Alpine Space projects and co-operations.

Seminar

Goal:

To delve into the subjects and demonstrate solutions and prepare and create a good basis for more trans-national projects in the framework of sustainable development in the Alpine Space.
