Looking for Expertise on Sustainable Building in Mediterranean Area for Contributing to a MOOC

Within a unique collaboration between meetMED II along with several EU-funded projects and based on the experience of ADEME, the French Agency for Ecological Transition, a MOOC dedicated on Sustainable Construction in Mediterranean Climate is to be developed in 2023. It is intended for professionals in the construction sector, particularly at the stage of sizing and designing buildings, therefore targeting mainly architects, engineers, students but also potential project owners (urban agencies, executing agencies) by providing basic knowledge to design a sustainable construction project. It takes place in 3 sequences spread over 3 weeks that require about 2 hours of attention per week.

You have relevant expertise in the area of sustainable construction, you’re interested in sharing your knowledge and contribute to capacity building strategy in the MED region. You have experience and robust references in giving trainings and courses on the following topics: engineering skills, architecture, urbanism, environment and climate change topics. You shall join us for participating in the technical expert group (TEG).

Eligible profile & requirements: All profile coming from any country of the region with a dedicated experience of 5 years minimum in MED region are called to apply. A minimum understanding and speaking skills in French and English languages is required.

About meetMED

The Mitigation Enabling Energy Transition in the Mediterranean region (meetMED) project is an EU-funded project, developed by the Mediterranean Association of the National Agencies for Energy Management (MEDENER) and the Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE).It aims at enhancing the energy security of beneficiary countries (namely Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia) while fostering their transition to low carbon economy. in the targeted countries. MeetMED II activities aim at strengthening the implementation of EE measures and improving countries’ energy mix focusing on building and appliances’ sectors through a multiscale, multi-partner and inclusive approach at local and regional levels, thereby fostering regional cooperation.

 

The framework of meetMED II “Mitigation enabling energy transition in the Mediterranean region: Focus on Energy Efficient Buildings and Appliances”  project, MEDENER/ADEME in cooperation with RCREEE & Administrative Capital Urban Development (ACUD) organized a Regional Consultation Workshop with the aim to present the planned activities addressed to enhance the development, adaptation and replication of district cooling technology. The event took place on November 17, 2021.

The event brought together key stakeholders and development partners to present relevant action plans, methodology and expected outcomes. It identified possible synergies, challenges and priorities and mobilize efforts to enrich the project’s implementation plan.

Key and relevant national best practices and lessons learned on district cooling deployment in the Mediterranean region were presented allowing experience exchange between NMC and SMC. Additionally, speakers discussed the dissemination of the upcoming capacity development activities in addition to the identification of involved local experts and national stakeholders, the introduction to ongoing national initiatives and the preparation of upcoming activities and meetings.

Event attendance is by invitation only.
