<< Objectives >>Objectives:- improve the mobility of construction personnel within the EU;- contribute to innovation in vocational education and training through the use of innovative manuals;- increase multi-cultural exchange of best practices and knowledge between Partners countries and later – at UE level,- increase recognition of legal regulations, relevant to managerial subjects presented in manuals, at EU level and in Partners countries,- facilitate proper recognition and transparency of man. skills<< Implementation >>Project management activities, including planning and progress monitoring, financial administration, coordination and communication, dissemination, quality control, impact analysis, sustainability and exploitation activities, risk management.Development of manuals, including preparation of draft and final versions of manuals (after testing and evaluation with target groups).Series of national and international meetings, dissemination, and testing events.<< Results >>CLOEMC VI learning outcomes and 6 Manuals on design and execution of facades, digital twin, urban mining, environmental issues, earthquakes, logistics, green technology, talent management, and future competencies of construction managers. All manuals will be based on experience from partner countries, written in 5 languages (more foreseen in the future), and developed by a multinational team.+reports on quality, finances, dissemination & progress, website, presentations, flyers, brochures, etc.

SisAl Pilot aims to demonstrate a patented novel industrial process to produce silicon (Si, a critical raw material), enabling a shift from today’s carbothermic Submerged Arc Furnace (SAF) process to a far more environmentally and economically alternative: an aluminothermic reduction of quartz in slag that utilizes secondary raw materials such as aluminium (Al) scrap and dross, as replacements for carbon reductants used today. SisAl Pilot represents a path-breaking approach, and a strong contribution to “circularity” through industrial symbiosis where the Al industry will act as both a raw material supplier and end user to the Si industry. Across sectors, SisAl Pilot will give substantial reductions in material yield losses, enhanced valorisation of waste- and by-product streams, at a 3 X lower energy consumption and radically lower emissions of CO2 and harmful pollutants, at a considerably lower cost. The SisAl Pilot project brings together raw material provider (Erimsa), silicon and aluminium key actors (Wacker, Elkem, DOW, Silicor, SiQAl, Hydro, FRey, Befesa, MYTIL), SME´s/consultants/ equipment manufacturers (BNW, SIMTEC, WS and SBC) and research organisations (NTNU, RWTH, NTUA, ITMATI, SINTEF, HZDR, MINTEK) to demonstrate the SisAl process with different raw materials and product outputs in 4 different countries. These pilots will be accompanied by environmental, economic and technological benchmarking, and industrial business cases will be assessed for locations in Norway, Iceland, Germany, Spain and Greece. The timing of SisAl Pilot is impeccable; the transformation to a circular economy, the strongly enhanced focus on climate and future expected EU-ETS CO2 allowances with associated risk for carbon leakage from Europe, the rapidly increased difficulty of exporting aluminium scrap from Europe to China, and modern society’s ever-increasing need for silicon metal. With SisAl, all these challenges are turned into new European opportunities.
