About the Project
The project brings together a consortium of leading universities and institutions from Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Albania, and Kosovo, with a shared goal of modernizing curricula in Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) and Energy Efficiency (EE) applied to the building sector. Led by the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), the initiative addresses the pressing need to improve energy performance in Western Balkan countries and transition towards cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
Project Purpose
Advancing Renewable Energy Technologies and Energy Efficiency in Engineering and Architecture Education
Our project is dedicated to leading the comprehensive modernization of curricula within the engineering and architecture trades, with a specific focus on Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) and Energy Efficiency (EE) applied to the building sector. Rooted in the urgent need to align educational practices with the strategic plans of partner countries, our initiative emphasizes the adoption of RETs and EE as crucial components in combating climate change, reducing CO2 emissions, and ensuring energy security and sustainability. We aim to overhaul existing curricula by modernizing at least 20 modules and creating a minimum of 5 new modules specifically on Renewable Energy Technologies and Management and Energy Efficiency in Buildings across all 5 Balkan Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Through this effort, we seek to empower students and faculty to become leaders in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency, driving positive change and innovation in the built environment while addressing pressing environmental challenges.
