Get ready for the TwinERGY’s event in Benetutti: the agenda uncovered
It’s happening: next 29th of September TwinERGY hosts the 1st PAN European Workshop on “The role of citizens in energy transformation: The case of TwinERGY engagement learnings.
During three days, TwinERGY’s consortium team will meet in person in Benetutti, Italy’s pilot site, to discuss the current state of the project, upcoming challenges and opportunities and to organise a series of workshops highlighting the role of communities in the energy market.
Let’s stand out some key moments from the agenda!
On the 28th of September an interactive and creative session with citizens from Benetutti will take place, to share their experiences gathered in these first pilot months.
The 29th of September is the big day as the 1st TwinERGY PAN EU Workshop will be held in the village. The event will have a hybrid format so that all the knowledge shared is available and open for everyone. In particular, the streaming session will be from 14:00 to 16:15h CET and will be disclosed into: an introduction to the TwinERGY approach to citizen engagement by Project Manager Stylianos Karatzas, followed by a brief overview to the participatory framework by Carolyn Hassan from KWMC and to a trusted data sharing by Arthur van der Wees from Arthur’s Legal.
Hereafter, the four pilot coordinators from Steinheim (Germany), Benetutti (Italy), Athens (Greece) and Bristol (United Kingdom) will present learnings and good practices on citizen participation they have collected across their actions. Afterwards, the last and more exciting slot, three energy experts will share their views on community engagement and will lead an open-discussion hosted by Anna Higueras from Ideas for Change. This debate will count with popular voices from the energy sector as:
Thomas Mikkelsen, Head of Social & Behavioural Innovation at Smart Innovation Norway
Mia Ala Juusela, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland
With the aim of exposing the initial learnings and questions when applying the consumer engagement strategy, collecting good practices and existing gaps, the event will be centred on citizen engagement in the energy system. The idea will be to get feedback and further knowledge, while enabling conversations between citizens and stakeholders on challenges and benefits of taking an active role in energy management.
