ELCIM and the CIT constantly submit proposal to EU tenders. The
current submissions are:
Micro Climate in the Mediterranean Area
The MicroClimed Project suggest tackling this Mediterranean
challenge through developing an innovative design approach to
reduce the UHI, that will be tested numerically and demonstrated
on existing public buildings.
Scientific Platform for Entreprise Development in the
Mediterranean Area
The specific objective of the project lies in the
development of a scientific platform having the role of linking
Local and regional Universities and Research Centers to Industry
and entrepreneurs. The platform will act as an interface
partnering local and regional Researchers with businesses.
The project which will last for 2.5 years and shall initially be
involved in identifying the minimal criteria for the project the
platform infrastructure or form which could vary from country to
country and could be part of a research in institute, a
University or a cluster.
Mediterranean Innovation Access Organization
MIAO will act as issuing authority for innovation vouchers.
Open calls will be launched for SMEs to develop new products /
services, to access research results, and to improve their
equipment and facilities capacity. The technical support will be
provided through online and offline training sessions /
workshops, a mentorship program will be launched and a mentor
network will be integrated to ICT platform for ease of access.
Finally MIA will generate two types of alliances one with
universities and research centers to facilitate the access of
research results to SMEs. The second between cross border SMEs
for joint Research and Development activities.
Granting Energy Efficiency in the Mediterranean area
The main idea is to analyze the state of the art of the
energy performances of the public buildings in different climate
contexts among the Mediterranean area in which has become
priority to reduce the overheating.
The approach chosen could be represented by a selection of
representative (from the building typology point of view) public
constructions, as seats of small scale pilot interventions.
Public buildings should be subject to likely provide crucial
hints related to feasibility and efficiency of that
interventions.
The general objective is to set up a common procedure to be
adopted in the countries involved in the project to adopt
tailor-made solutions in the specific case (single building), in
terms of technological solutions for:
building envelope
plants
comfort
Med Ecosystem for Science and Technology
Mediterranean Ecosystem for Science and Technology (MESTe) is
the cross borders project aiming to transform scientific
findings in wealth over the whole cooperation area. The MESTe
mechanism can be simplified in the process to transport a
scientific finding from low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) to
higher TRL levels and on the market, using the living labs as
governance ecosystems and quadri-helix as stakeholders geometry.
The main challenge is creating over the transnational area a
shared set of rules, methodologies and instruments to bring
innovation and high technology form R&D spaces to market,
considering the vocations of the territories. The project shares
goals with others EU funded measures (Erasmus+, SME Instruments,
FastTrack) suggesting, when possible, the conjunct with EU
support program to final beneficiaries. Reaching the mentioned
goal means to involve the main stakeholders: public bodies,
Universities and Research Centres, other R&D institutions,
industrial parties, final customers to share methodologies and
knowledge. Meste gives huge attention to 3 specific
relationships driving the innovation path: the relations between
Industry and R&D; Customer Vs Innovator; Public institution Vs
Innovator. The importance of those 3 relationships deals with
the main features of all non performing technology transfer
ecosystems. In fact, too often the efforts to bring on the
market are applied to research results absolutely no connected
with industrial state of the art or forecast. On the other hand,
too often, once the whole investments towards maturity of a new
product/service are made, the Innovator face difficulty to sell
(and make business) because of aspects important for customers.
Finally, the Public institutions play a crucial role to
stimulate the engagement of Industry and R&D. Our intention is
to build 2 Living labs, where supplying instruments, services
devoted to TT pathway to: researchers, public staff,
organizations, SMEs involved on TT process.
GREEN SCHOOLS to promote energy transition policies, new
technologies and smart behaviour
GREEN SCHOOLs goes beyond a traditional approach, aiming at
an energy efficient, renewable and eco school building, where
responsible behaviours in energy consuming of the people living
in the school represents a strategic element for improving the
energy performance.
The main challenges addressed by the project on both
Mediterranean shores (MPCs and EUMPCs) are:
a) to reinforce the cooperation among universities/research
centres, private companies, local public authorities both al
local and cross board level;
b) to define a cross border innovative approach based on common
criteria for a Green energy school;
c) to promote a proactive social behaviour based on awareness
raising, capacity building and responsibility in energy
consuming
Mobilizing New Areas of Investments and Together Aiming to
Increase Quality of life
Main overall objective of the project is the promotion of
innovative business models in the area. This through the
establish of business networks between the local South
Mediterranean implementers and the European technology
developers in the field of innovative micro/mini-grids.
Therefore the MAIA-TAQA project aims to develop such networks
starting from an early promotion stage, through a testing phase
till the final creation. This would be developed through several
stages.
The project specific objectives are:
1. Improvement of the degree of energy and water
self-sufficiency of several areas through the integration of RES
sources in micro-grids, energy efficiency in water supply and
reduction of water waste.
2. Building the conditions to let such business model to be
developed in a enabling environment.
Innovation-driven network for manufacturing SMEs
competitiveness & innovation management capacity
DRINN project aims to aims to change the attitude of the
Euro-MED manufacturing MSMEs towards innovation and Industry 4.0
challenges. It intends to reinforce the innovation capability of
the addressed MSMEs, through a wide set of concrete capacity
building actions, IT tools, direct B2B collaborations with
technologically advanced companies
Digital Incubator of Mediterranean Area
D.I.M.A. Digital Incubator of Mediterranean Area Project is
centered on the creation and the development of an institutional
Digital Incubator for the Mediterranean Area, with the aim of
reinforcing stability and safety in international relationships
and at the same time guarantee a sustainable, inclusive and
intelligent growth of the all Area, in line with Europe 2020
strategy and the Overarching Objective of the programme. D.I.M.A.
will stimulate and support the creation and the development of
new MSMEs with particular focus on young and women
entrepreneurs. The peculiarity of the Digital Incubator is that
it will offer its services also remotely, thus ensuring a
comprehensive and extensive coverage of support, also in those
countries where travels and communications are difficult because
of the socio-economic context.
Mediterranean Energy Efficient Public Building Initiative
The overall goal of this project is to consolidate a
Mediterranean strategy that supports EE and RE use in public
buildings, promoting exchange and raise of innovative methods
and improving the capacity of stakeholders and the effectiveness
of policies and strategies.
In particular, the specific objectives defined to ensure such a
goal are:
To develop regional and local government strategic capacities
and promote the mainstreaming of energy renovation in public
building policy and practice together with complementary market
measures, such as innovative financial mechanisms, enabling
their roll out and hence a more powerful implementation of EU
Directives on EE and RE in buildings;
To design improved energy renovation packages relevant to
different public building types and climatic zones of the
Mediterranean region, and test their application on a variety of
pilot projects, assessing scalability, modularity and
adaptability of the integrated measures proposed, and drawing
lessons in view of promoting replicability;
To strengthen knowledge and skills of government professionals
and building renovation workforce with tailored and experiential
training so that the necessary multidisciplinary technical
profiles are qualified to apply the packages, related
methodologies and integrated measures proposed
