The NEWCOMERS’ team’s reflection on a research agenda on clean energy communities has been published in Energy Research & Social Science

The NEWCOMERS project has attended several global Open Education events in the month of September, where we presented our Open Education plans and activities. The project was represented by Mojca Drevenšek, our communications partner.

After a few summer months, it was high time for another NEWCOMERS consortium reunion, where we discussed the progress made so far and decided upon the activities in the final stage of the project.

On June 15, the NEWCOMERS consortium reunited after seven months to reflect and discuss the projects achievements and future plans.

On February 9 the NEWCOMERS consortium was invited for its first virtual review meeting where the achievements and overall progress of the first 18 months of the project were evaluated and discussed with project officer Manuela Conconi from INEA.

We have launched the Our Energy, an online platform for education, awareness-raising, and networking, focusing on new clean energy communities, energy transitions and related topics.

Halfway through the project, the NEWCOMERS consortium had a successful 2-days mid-term meeting to take stock of what has been achieved in the first half of the project and to define the agenda for the second half of the project.

The NEWCOMERS project has successfully arrived halfway through its lifetime and the consortium partners will virtually meet on an informal mid-term meeting in the beautiful eLund, Sweden, on 18 and 19 November.

Almost one year has passed since the kick-off meeting in July 2019 in Ljubljana! A good reason for the NEWCOMERS consortium to virtually reunite for the 2020 annual meeting on June 17-18.

Our project’s first digital newsletter is out where we are opening the dialogue with our participating energy communities, our stakeholders, with you and everyone who is interested in exploring new clean energy communities with us.
