Organised by CONGREGATE Project and supported by the European Climate Initiative (EUKI), the seminar aimed to:

GAIURB’s intervention aimed to present the Renewable Energy Community (REC), the Afurada Living Lab as an innovative solution in the transition to a low carbon economy, mainly in local projects and collaborative model that is an example of this project taking place in the Afurada territory until 2024.
