The H2020 projects IANOS and ROBINSON are organising the webinar "From waste to grid: re-using resources to achieve energy independence on islands" as a partner event for the EU Green Week, which will take place on 3 June 2021, from 2 pm to 3.30 pm CEST.

Islands often face energy constraints and resource limitations. IANOS and ROBINSON believe that EU islands can play an essential role in the EU's energy tranistion, especially when it come to waste to energy technologies.

This webinar provided guidance on how to produce short videos to promote your island: explain how it embraces renewable energy and energy efficiency, how the transition to clean energy is creating jobs and economic growth, and how the EU can help your island’s clean energy transition.

The submitted videos were assessed by the secretariat and a selection made for the presentation during the EU island forum on 20 & 21 May 2021. The videos further gained publicity by being published on the Clean energy for EU island website.

The first forum of Phase II of the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat – an initiative of the European Commission – will present practical steps towards the decarbonisation of EU islands and showcase ongoing and completed clean energy projects on islands. The 2-day event will be a knowledge hub on the clean energy transition. It will provide participants with a platform to gain visibility for their clean energy initiatives, to get technical assistance for designing, preparing, and implementing their decarbonisation plans and to gain knowledge on project financing.

From this year onwards the International Energy Exhibition of Greece is integrated in the organization of the Cretan Energy Conferences. The International Energy Exhibition will be held in Crete from 8 to 10 July.

The exhibition will take place under the patronage of the Ministry of Environment and Energy, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs & Insular Policy, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the support of the Region of Crete.

In this webinar from April 2021, we explained how to apply for the new call for technical assistance launched by the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat with deadline on 4 May 2021.

With our 'Explore, Shape, Act' methodology, the secretariat aims to bring solutions to all European islands tailored to whichever phase of the transition they are in. The webinar included more information on phase II of the secretariat, the type of support we offer, the self-assessment tool, and the online application form.
