The PEARLS project is a collaboration between 5 countries and 16 institutions working together to understand regional diversity in favour of new advances in the low carbon economy. PEARLS is encouraging people’s commitment to safe, clean and efficient energy, while acting on spatial planning and social innovation in Renewable Energy Landscapes, bringing the vision and experience of Mediterranean countries to the rest of Europe.

On October 2nd, Anna Codemo defended her doctoral thesis in Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering (University of Trento) entitled “Climate sensitive design for regenerative cities” based on the results coming from the secondment that she was able to performduring the PEARLS project.

The entire PEARLS team is delighted with your success. Congratulations, Anna

Due to the extraordinary circumstances resulted from the Covid-19 Pandemic, the organizers of the “5^th Energy and Society Conference”, which was supposed to take place in the University of Trento on September this year, have decided to postpone this event.

We will continue updating future changes regarding PEARLS arisen from this sanitary emergency.

Some of the cartographical tools and 3D Monitoring on REL developed by our team in Geosystems Hellas and the University of Seville are already uploaded to the Horizon 2020 Platform Result and available for the general public under consultation, but our consortium is still working on exploitable results that could be included in here.

We will continue working on this matter and will let you know as soon as we have more results uploaded.

In the upcoming August, the IGC will take place in Istanbul. Topics treated by the PEARLS Consortium will be addressed in the workshop “Sustainability Processes in the Low-carbon economy: Territories and Renewable Energies”

Deadline for submissions of abstracts:

13th of January (Link for Submissions)
