Time: 2:00-3:00 pm
Location: Verona smart energy EXPO, Verona

Co-founded by the European Commission within the seventh framework programme for scientific research, CIVIS Project explores the potential of social networks and communities to significantly reduce energy use and carbon emission. The project deploys and tests a new, smart model of energy management on a community level to promote energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emission through an interaction of energy, ICT and social systems.
The project is implemented within four pilot sites: two villages in Trento’s province, Italy and two neighborhoods in Stockholm, Sweden.

The project has reached its middle life and significant preliminary results have been reached:

  • social, energy and technological issues related to the objectives of the project have been deeply analyzed
  • smart devices have been installed in the houses of citizens involved and data are being collected
  • ICT tools, apps and platform for data analysis, have been developed.

The Mid-Term Conference is the first public occasion during which it will be possible for CIVIS partners to:

  • share preliminary results achieved by CIVIS consortium with stakeholders locally involved
  • compare CIVIS experience with other EU projects
  • get inspiration from external stakeholders: other EU projects, policy experts, utilities, private companies, energy efficiency experiences.

The conference will take place on the first day of Verona smart energy EXPO, a three-days international exhibition on energy efficiency.During the same days the International conference and EXPO of greenbuild (Europe and the Mediterranean) will take place in the premises of Verona Fiere as well.
