Atelier Project
The two-day event is designed as a story-driven and interactive forum showcasing the journey of Smart City project ATELIER and its cities in creating Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). Bringing together all 30 ATELIER partners as well as selected high-level guests, they will share hands-on experiences in creating and replicating PEDs across Europe.
Key Themes & Highlights :
- Reflecting on the Journey: Opening plenary sessions will compare initial plans with achievements and share the stories of Lighthouse Cities Bilbao and Amsterdam.
- City Experiences: Six Fellow Cities will present their lessons learned and replication efforts.
- Practical Knowledge Sharing: Several interactive breakout sessions will dive into topics like:
- "How to start a PED" - a crash-course for PED-newbies
- Energy communities - what can be achieved?
- Stakeholder Collaboration and Innovation Ateliers
- Policy frameworks for PED deployment
- Replicating PEDs
- Data and digital tools for PEDs
- Financing PEDs
- …and more.
- Networking & Inspiration: Poster exhibitions, a guided Guggenheim museum tour, and a conference dinner serve as occasions to foster collaboration beyond the project.
