RESOR

The objective of the project is to support energy efficiency and renewable energy use in businesses of the secondary and tertiary sector of the partner regions by improving current regional policies.

Interregional learning process

RESOR activities will envisage an interregional learning process involving staff from public authorities and representatives of relevant stakeholder groups. This learning process will result in the identification of best practices for the improvement of regional policy instruments supporting energy efficiency and RES use and in the draft of Action Plans to be implemented in each partner region. A key element of the project are interregional site visits, where project partners share strategies and experiences on specific themes and brainstorm with policy-makers and stakeholders to select a number of best practices.  In parallel with the interregional site visits, partner regions organise seminars for organisation staff and local stakeholders to present to the results of the interregional learning process and develop guidelines for the drafting of the action plans. RESOR learning process is conducted during 2018-2020, after which the findings are collected, analysed and compiled into regional action plans and into the RESOR compendium.

Follow-up process

In 2020-2022 RESOR will move from learning to implementation. Regional actions plans will be put into practice and their progress closely monitored.  Project recommendations and results will be widely disseminated to the other EU regions to provide them with the chance to take and replicate the lessons learnt. RESOR  is about working across borders and organisations, with the support of stakeholders, to find the best solutions for more sustainable energy behaviours and practices.
