Offer Description
National Competence Centre and solutions for the development of Climate Neutral and Smart Cities” (Net Ze Ro Cities ) – Contract no: 760007/30.12.2022, Project code 6/16.11.2022
Net Zero Competence Centre promotes system innovation across the value chain of city investment, targeting multiple sectors such as governance, transport, energy, construction, and recycling, with support from powerful digital technologies. Cities requires a shift in regulations, approaches and instruments combined with the willingness to go beyond existing schemes and habits. It requires an attitude change towards practical implementation that includes concerns of people and stakeholders working together: citizens, local governments, central and regional governments, and European institutions.
Following the vision of creating a safe, liveable, and lovable living space, urban neighbourhoods offer a good opportunity to implement and validate new ideas and innovative concepts. This is why our CC focuses on both static (i.e., city infrastructure) and dynamic (i.e. people, businesses) components of the city.
Project 3 - PROJECT SMART SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS aims at developing the research capacity and knowledge transfer of complementary research structures existing at consortium level dedicated to studies related to the quality of the built environment, through their cohesion in the form of an advanced research group for Energy Efficient Innovative Technologies and Sustainability of the Built Environment for further harmonization with the Smart Digital Campus facilities and know-how.
The objectives of the project are to create a state-of-the-art research infrastructure, managed by best researchers from the built environment ecosystem based on 4 pillars: integrative design, digitalization, circularity and clean energy. The aim is to develop the sustainability of the built environment, which is based on innovative research directions and high-tech infrastructure.
