CO-EFFICIENT Capitalisation Workshop th 4 June 2014, Bled (Slovenia)
The lead partner (University of Maribor) of project CO-EFFICIENT welcomed all participants to the Capitalisation Workshop and invited each representative to present his/hers project. All participants have in brief presented their projects with special emphasis on identification of possible synergies and joint activities with other participating MED projects. The opportunities and possibilities for cooperation have been highlighted.
PRESENTATIONS E2STORMED project (Adrián Morales Torres) The project E2STORMED is focused on improvement of energy efficiency in water cycle with the use of innovative storm water management in smart Mediterranean cities. The main result of project will be the Decision Support tool for local authorities to compare energy consumption. The first draft has been finalized and it will be implemented in 5 pilot cases. The decision tool will be adjusted according to the needs defined in pilot cases. Within project activities also the Strategic Action plan with guidelines for Municipalities will be prepared. Possible cooperation with other MED projects has been identified in area of sustainable use of water, sustainable water management and especially dissemination of project activities and results. Joint organisation of dissemination activities is sought. SMILE (Moncef Semichi) The project SMILE addresses green innovative logistic for energy efficient Mediterranean cities. Main focus is on rationalizing and improving the range of consumption in transport and minimizing congestion in city centres. Within the project the CityGoods model will be developed which will measure needs and externalities of urban transport supply chain. The model will be used in all 6 Mediterranean cities involved in project. Also guidelines for policy makers will be prepared. The logistic solutions will be tested through demonstration activities also by involving public and private actors. Pilot activities address four topics: 1. Innovative technologies: electric mobility and micro distribution, 2. Information tools: ICT solutions for city logistic, 3. Operational tools: urban freight centres, optimised waste collection and transport, 4. Marketing tools: operators green recognition schemes. Project idea is to offer free ICT tool to measure the emissions of SME’s. Users (SME’s) will receive project Label, if they will use ICT tool and cooperate in training programs. The project SMILE is also developing the website containing the knowledge platform with all scientific research and practical information. The SMILE web platform can also contain information of other projects. Several areas of cooperation have been identified, especially influencing stakeholders, sharing the tools (such as urban distribution measuring models, GHG emissions tools), and joint communication and capitalization activities. University of Maribor has pointed out that projects SMILE and CO-EFFICIENT are working in very similar area and that several common activities could be identified. Both projects are developing knowledge database so many synergies can be achieved.

SINERGIA (Sanja Udovičić) The project SINERGIA is focused on increasing energy performance by transfer of innovation to agro-food SME’s in the Mediterranean area. Project will carry out benchmarking of the critical factors related to energy efficiency in the agro-food industry. The identification of innovative solutions enabling enterprises to reach higher standard will be carry out. Some synergies can be found between SINERGIA and GREEN PARTNERSHIP projects as both are addressing agro-food sector. SINERGIA and CO-EFFICIENT could find some synergies in development of web platform and in field of energy audits. Also comparison of Key Performance Indicators between projects could be interesting. GREEN PARTNERSHIP (Urška Dolinar) The project GREEN PARTNERSHIP is establishing local partnerships for greener cities and regions. Main aim is to achieve more efficient implementation of measures for energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources. Main focus is on supporting local policy and strategies, strengthening the implementation of policy and improving energy efficiency. Possible cooperation between SINERGIA and GREEN PARTNERSIP project has been identified. Also cooperation between CO-EFFICIENT and GREEN PARTNERSIP has been identified, especially in field of dissemination activities. Projects’ final conference could be organized together in Slovenia. The GREEN PARTNERSIP project will publish several materials for training and rising awareness regarding the energy efficiency (biomass, solar energy, and energy efficiency in public building) which could also be included in CO-EFFICIENT knowledge database. Projects can also jointly collect energy efficient technical solutions and best practice and include them in their databases. GRASP (Christos Gioldasis) The project GRASP is promoting green procurement and smart city support in energy sector. Main aim of project is to promote smart management of supply and demand to support innovative solutions in Meditation and ensure that the renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions are implemented in the most cost-efficient way. The main project output will be establishing GRASP Transnational Mediterranean Network, knowledge and solution database, E-procurement on-line services and action plans with impact case studies. The GRASP project already signed Memorandum of Understanding with several projects, such as REMIDA, REPUBLIC MED and ECOFUNDING. Synergies between GRASP and CO-EFFICIENT have been identified in field of exchanging best practices, developing SME’s database and exchanging methodologies used for identifying energy efficient services and products. The GRASP project is also developing environmental labels, which are very similar to CO-EFFICIENT certificates for energy efficiency. Cooperation is also possible in field of dissemination activities, especially organizing common project workshops. CO-EFFICIENT (Katja Hanžič) The main objective of project CO-EFFICIENT is the set-up of a living lab environment, active in all partner countries in which SMEs as final users and R&D organisation as the main developers collaborate to develop new solutions for better use of energy in production and Page 5 of 8
CO-EFFICIENT Capitalisation Workshop th 4 June 2014, Bled (Slovenia)
operations. The salient feature of living labs as such is that they seek to put the final users of innovations in the centre of the product/service development process, which assures a solution customised to user needs. Two international living labs will be established each comprised of 5 local pilots. Within the project the knowledge database will be developed, containing best practices, innovative solutions, information on funding opportunities etc. It is of vital interest that project CO-EFFICIENT gathers relevant information from other projects and disseminate them via its web-page. Dissemination activities of the project are also aimed at similar target groups as in other projects so cooperation is possible.
CONCLUSIONS Participants have continued discussion on one to one basis after the presentations and contacts between projects were established. The organisation of the workshop was seen as very positive and interest to participate in similar events was expressed.

COllaborative framework for energy EFFICIENT SME systems Katja Hanžič University of Maribor, Faculty of logistics
Bled, 4. 6. 2014
What seems to be the problem? SMEs are much slower when it comes to adopting energy efficient solutions – why? • organisational, financial and technological obstacles, • not enough communication and coordination between the R&D sector and SMEs, • lack of resources. Proposed solutions: innovation in and for SMEs, knowledge management implementation and customisation of available technologies in SMEs.
Project CO-EFFICIENT COllaborative framework for energy EFFICIENT SME systems EU programme MEDITERAN: – Axe 1: Strengthening innovation capacities – Objective 1.1: Dissemination of innovative technologies and know-how Duration: 1. 1. 2013 - 30. 6. 2015 Aim: To advance innovation and already available technologies for energy efficiency and use of renewable resources in operation and production processes of Mediterranean SMEs.
Objectives To establish permanent collaborative framework for energy efficiency and use of renewable resources linking SMEs, the R&D sector, as well as other institutional stakeholders in the Mediterranean area. To set-up of a living lab environment, active in all partner countries in which SMEs as final users and R&D organisations as the main developers will collaborate to develop new solutions for better use of energy in production and operations. Two thematic areas
Transport (Transport Living Lab)
Production processes (Production Living Lab)
Added value and expected impacts • Innovation in and for SMEs (SMEs innovate differently) • Knowledge management • Implementation and customization of available technologies in SMEs • To empower SMEs to communicate their business problems related to the energy efficiency and use of renewable resources to partners, R&D organisations and stakeholders and to develop customized solutions.
