The overall aim of MOBISTYLE is to raise consumer awareness and awareness of ownership, thus empowering consumers and providing confidence of choosing the right thing, by providing attractive tailor-made combined knowledge services on energy use, indoor environment, health and lifestyle, by ICT-based solutions. This awareness will support and motivate end-users to well informed pro-active behavior towards energy use, energy efficiency and health. The objectives are: 1. To make energy use and energy efficiency understandable and easy to handle in an attractive way by unlocking and translating large data sets using data science from energy monitoring for consumers. a. To transform ‘big data’ into ‘smart data’, i.e. giving meanings to data, making data understandable and findable. b. To develop easy to use, desirable ICT-based tools which will make energy monitoring a well-accepted and attractive ‘daily activity’ for end-users as well as for professionals (building managers). 2. To provide understandable information to consumers on health and life style in relation to energy use by combining energy monitoring with monitoring indoor environmental and behavior parameters a. To combine the several low-cost, non-intrusive devices and monitoring with the energy monitoring. b. To offer the end user transparency on energy use/efficiency, indoor environment, health and lifestyle. 3. To motivate behavioral change of consumers/energy end-users by combined modular information on energy use, health and lifestyle: To transform this information into knowledge for raising awareness on energy use and behavior, thus motivating and supporting to come to a behavioral consciousness and change of lifestyle concerning energy and health. 4. To foster new business models and applications 5. To deploy and validate the developed solutions and services in different building types and user types, demonstrating a significant reduction of final energy use, prompted by these solutions.

REMARKABLE will support local leaders to deliver a step change in progress towards carbon neutrality by 2050 in 7 regions across Europe. REMARKABLE will establish, by 2024, a network of 320 Current and Emerging Climate Leaders who, through their actions and inspiration, will drive their municipalities, public authorities, communities and regions to transform their approaches from ones focused on energy efficiency/renewables to ones focused on the strategic goal of climate neutrality by 2050. REMARKABLE will build new leadership capacity in 120 actors from 7 countries in Europe though a Climate Leadership Programme (CLP). The CLP will be inspired by ethnographic research and will be designed with and for leaders across public authorities. The REMARKABLE CLP will also facilitate the creation of 60 Roadmaps for public authorities aiming at Climate Neutrality by 2050. These Roadmaps will allow our Climate Leaders to translate strategic aspirations and policy ambitions into concrete and disruptive far reaching measures stimulating €300m investment by 2030. A Climate and Energy Check Tool will be developed and tested along with a Climate Neutrality Roadmap Guide. The 7 Regional Energy Agencies involved in REMARKABLE will develop 14 new services to expand their roles as change agents in the Clean Energy Transition and Climate Neutrality challenges. Climate Neutrality Training, Climate One Stop Shops, Financing Solutions are targeted as potential services. REMARKABLE will exploit its outcomes and results through the creation of an EU Climate Leaders Circle, reaching up to 320 members by 2024 including 30 from 7 Observer Regions/Countries. An innovative Climate Neutrality Challenge will be organised for Young Climate Leaders. The REMARKABLE Circle will create synergies with existing networks and initiatives e.g. COMO, ManagEnergy to support and enhance their impacts with the ambition of mobilising 10,000 stakeholders by 2030 (2,000 by 2024)

The majority of workers express dissatisfaction with their shared workplace design, which harms their health, wellbeing, productivity and social relations. So-called ‘adaptive’ workplace technologies try to manage these health risks by automating a wide range of architectural building services. However, there is severe lack of concrete evidence on how the short- and longer-term impact of such adaptive architectural technologies on health and wellbeing can be objectively measured, and then become benchmarked and optimized for a variety of hybrid workplace contexts. SONATA therefore aims to generate evidence-based recommendations on the use of architectural adaptation as technological intervention that can benefit human health and well-being in the workplace. Firstly, SONATA aims to measure, quantify and increase the range of health and well-being benefits of the separate and combined effects of state-of-the-art architectural adaptations on four different building shearing layers. Secondly, SONATA will generate empirical knowledge on how these multiple co-located adaptations can be intertwined together so that their health and wellbeing impact is greater than the sum of the separate layers. Lastly, SONATA investigates how these positive effects can become equitably negotiated between the varying - and often conflicting - work situations that must co-exist in a shared workplace. To ensure the resulting recommendations are feasible, easily adoptable and cost-effective to implement, SONATA will involve the pro-active participation and critical analysis from a well-considered selection of key target group representatives, such as workers, OSH-responsibilities, OEM and OHP experts, architects, workplace organisation innovators, adaptive technology manufacturers, and building certification consultants.

Energy efficiency of buildings plays a paramount role in the European Commission (EC), who aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in Europe through a socially-fair transition in a cost-efficient manner. The role of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to boost building energy renovation is widely considered crucial in the literature because they are fundamental to provide better information to all the actors involved in the building renovation process. Besides, EPCs can act as a link between the different types of actions (institutional, financial, others) that will be needed to accomplish the building renovation goals. The crossCert project will create a product testing methodology for the new EPC approaches that will result in: improved accuracy and usability of the EPCs, people-centric designs, and increased homogeneity across Europe. The crossCert project is based on a bottom-up approach, with the following stages: (1) Cross-testing among energy authorities of current EPCs and the new approaches/concepts/initiatives, using more than 140 buildings in 10 European countries, and creating a public benchmarking repository of test cases; (2) Comparing and analysing the results between different approaches; (3) Elaboration of policy recommendations, which will include potential improvements on the accuracy, usability and harmonisation; (4) Engaging networks and alliances for analysis and (5) for outreach. Beyond accuracy, usability and harmonization, crossCert will use the cross-assessment exercise to conduct research and issue guidelines on: training and education of certified EPC issuers; EPC promotion and marketing; adapting EPCs investor needs; linking next-generation of EPCs to energy audits, logbooks and Building Renovation Passports; and EPCs and one-stop shops for building renovation.

The composite manufacturing industry is characterised by high added value and complexity of manual work processes. The future of the composite market is expected to be highly competitive, and companies with innovative capabilities and skilled labour force can thrive and gain market share. The key aim of the Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership Project “Skilled Hand for High Tech Production” – CompoHUB project was to use the current potentials offered by the labour market (e.g. unemployed joiners, wood cabinet makers, textile workers etc.) as a baseline and furthermore involve additional education and training activities to re-qualify the labour force to be able to work effectively in the high-tech area of composite manufacturing.CompoHUB project has achieved 5 key objectives: 1) Identification and analysis of industry requirements and missing skills gaps in the area of composite manufacturing.2) Structuring the relevant working areas, key tasks and knowledge/skills and development of the occupational standard/national occupational qualification “composite laminator”.3) Development of the training programme in the field of composite manufacturing responsive to industry and labour market needs.4) Integration of the learning material into an on-line open-source learning platform in 3 different European languages (accessible at www.compohub.eu).5) Integration of the developed training programme into institution based Vocational Education and Training in Slovenia and Estonia.To successfully realise the objectives, CompoHUB project connected 6 different European partners, i.e.: 1) organizations that carry out research and development on composites and/or manufacture composite materials (company CompoTech, Czech Republic), 2) organizations that use the composite materials to manufacture composite parts for different industries (companies Aereform, Slovenia and MAC Motoplatika, Croatia) and 3) training organizations and VET providers (Zasavska ljudska univerza, Slovenia and Kuressaare Ametikool, Estonia). In addition, the Institute for Innovation and Development of University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) represented the overall project manager to connect and enhance cooperation between the three groups and also acting as liaison facilitating the codification of tacit knowledge and bridging the gap between vocational education and higher education. The Compo-HUB project produced a special impact on VET trainers and in-company trainers since it contributed towards the development of their training and subject-specific skills in the field of composite manufacturing, involving strong work-based teaching/learning component. It furthermore equipped the target training group with the new knowledge and skills in the respective field, which are required by the labour market. The developed on-line learning platform provides the access to the most recent and up-to-date knowledge and developments that can be effectively customized to specific requirements of individual customer (companies, VET institutions, higher education). The new developed training programme in the field of composite manufacturing presents an important competitive advantage for VET providers, as up to date, no similar training programme was offered neither in Slovenia nor Estonia.The long-term sustainability of project results is based on 4 main exploitation mechanisms: 1. The developed results, namely the training programme and platform are further used by the consortium partners as supplement to their existing education and training activities and in-company specific trainings;2. Commercial exploitation and customization of training programme to specific needs of customer (composite manufacturing industry and VET providers);3. Mainstreaming and accreditation of the occupational standard and catalogue “the composite laminator”. This assures that skills and qualification are more easily recognized, within and across national borders, as well as in the labour market;4. The Composite HUB as the source of new research, development and training initiatives connecting different composite industry segments and education & training organizations, namely VET and higher education. The driving principle is the exchange of technology and good practices, also contributing to the development of innovative practices in the field of education and training.
