Outlook
Expert Forum on Linked-In
To support the continuation of our Urb.Energy network a group on the social media network space Linked-In was founded. The group “Urban Energy Experts” gives a platform to gather knowledge and exchange information about urban development and energy related issues with focus on European countries.
Continuing Website
The Urb.Energy Website will continue to inform about news and ongoing activities of project partners after the end of Urb.Energy.
Also the local and overall results and gathered findings will be available here.
Energy Cluster
Together with seven other INTERREG IVB projects within the Baltic Sea Region Urb.Energy is part of the Energy Cluster. The one-year cluster initiative is lead by the cluster leader project Longlife and works on synergies of the connected pro-jects in terms of all energy related as-pects. Here EU projects are working closely together with backgrounds e.g. in energy efficiency in buildings and urban structures, sustainable production and use of renewable energy and energy efficient businesses.
For Urb.Energy the Lead Partner German Association for Housing, Urban and Spa-tial Development (DV e.V.) and the part-ner Housing Initiative for Eastern Europe (IWO e.V.) brings the findings and re-sults of the Urb.Energy project into the cluster working group. So far the Cluster consortium met in November 2011 and January 2012 in Berlin at TU Berlin.
Main output material of the Energy Clus-ter will be a compendium on synergies between energy related INTERREG pro-jects that gives a ‘big picture’ of net-worked solutions for energy related chal-lenges as the logo of the Energy Cluster already shows. The final conference of the Cluster will be held in September 2012 in Oslo.
Further Cluster Partner Projects are the following BSR INTERREG IVB projects:
• PEA
• Longlife
• COOL Bricks
• SPIN
• BioenergyPromotion
• BalticBiogasBus
• remowe
