Why join the European movement towards sustainable energy?
If you manage a brilliant project with great results, why keep it to yourself? If energy efficiency and renewable energy matter to you, why not share your expertise with others and showcase your initiative? To find out how you can get involved with your project or event, check your eligiblity below and create an account.
Apply for the awards
Take part in the Sustainable Energy Europe Awards Competition and submit your project to us! The annual awards are a high point of the EU Sustainable Energy Week and provide an invaluable opportunity to highlight the successes of the most outstanding, ambitious and innovative projects in sustainable energy and energy efficiency.
To take part in the Awards Competition, your project must match the following selection criteria:
• Your project must make a significant and proven contribution to the EU 2020 objectives with regards to energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. You would need to present concrete facts and figures explaining how your project will generate energy savings and/or increase the use of renewable energy sources regardless of the size of your project.
• Your projects should be an outstanding example in its area. It is not enough for your project to simply fulfil official requirements in relation to energy efficiency and/or renewable energy sources. Rather, it should represent excellence in its respective field.
• Your project should be replicable. Your project should be replicable to a different context so that others may benefit from your experience.
• The main promoter of your project must be based in Europe. With main promoter we mean the organisation(s) responsible for the project.
• Research and Demonstration (R&D) projects and products are not eligible. This is a campaign to collect and showcase outstanding projects with proven results and a high replication potential. It is not the right place for projects which develop, test or demonstrate novel and untried approaches or technologies. Projects are time-bound activities to achieve a predetermined outcome – products are not.
Organise an Energy Day during EUSEW 2012
You can also organise an Energy Day to promote renewable energy or energy efficiency. This can be any event – from exhibitions, conferences, online events, and performances to guided tours, open door days, workshops, media campaigns, concerts and much more. In line with the EUSEW 2012 main theme, events addressing renewable energy matters are particularly welcome. But also events addressing resource efficiency qualify to become an Energy Day.
5 good reasons to get involved:
- Raise the profile and improve the image of your organisation, town, city or region
- Be part of a European campaign
- Spread your sustainable energy technologies and practices
- Attract media attention and make headlines
- Get additional visibility and support for your event from us
