A message from the CitizEE project
-

Exceptional times require exceptional skills!

Welcome to the second CitizEE newsletter!

It is our pleasure to inform and share with you the latest updates and news from the CitizEE project before we say goodbye to the year 2020.

This year has been special indeed!
The currently exceptional challenges have influenced the process of the CitizEE project. Nevertheless, we stay positive and adapted to a new way of working.
We shifted all our onsite meetings towards virtual ones and we elaborated a new approach on how to increase investments for energy efficiency in the building sector by attracting private investment from citizens.

We have achieved very important milestones and findings, created great synergies with other projects and platforms and will participate and hold webinars in renowned events.

Together, we build a greener future through energy citizenship by increasing energy efficiency and sustainability in the building sector!

Stay healthy and take care.

Your CitizEE project team
