Workshops - We are looking for your participation!

The workshop activity officially began in June 2011. The ENDORSE Description of the Work plans about 5 to 7 workshops during the lifetime of the project.

The organisation of thematic workshops aims at maximising the results while saving resources. Based on the experience in previous projects, workshops have been and will be organized preferably in the context of events (for instance international fairs) that attract a broad multi-stakeholders audience of in the various fields (prefer transversal to single-topic fairs).

The workshops will be organized around the domain themes (Solar, Wind, Biomass, Load Balancing, Daylighting). They address the target customer groups, the service industry as well as other relevant stakeholders such as authorities, policy makers and public administrations. Within workshops, ENDORSE will provide interactive demonstration of the services, where possible, and will consult the audience to feed the preparation of the “Towards the Market” report .

The thematic workshops will finally assess the compliance of the services to the market needs; moreover, they will provide inputs for developing business sustainability roadmaps.

Please find in the Exhibit 1 the temporary list of the selected workshops for the year 2012. The type of presentation (speech followed by a discussion, round table, interactive workshop,... ) is still under discussion for all events. If you are interested in taking part of one of the workshops, please contact either one of the workshop representatives (Elena Gaboardi, iCons, or Claire Thomas, Transvalor) or the Partner in charge of the organization of the workshop (in bold in the second column).
