This initiative demonstrates how historical and cultural heritage can be revitalised through cutting-edge technology\, by transforming an old watermill into a micro-hydropower and hybrid energy solution for a small community. \nThe project aims to maximise energy efficiency while preserving heritage and promoting sustainability. It also supports the decentralisation of energy production through microgeneration\, enhances energy independence\, and contributes to reducing both costs and carbon footprint. \n \nThe event is part of the European Sustainable Energy Days 2026\, promoted by EUSEW2026 \nProfessor Helena Ramos is one of the coordinators\, representing CERIS and IST. \nRegistration is free but mandatory. Please register HERE \nSee the provisional programme below: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThe Project\nThe objective of the European HY4RES project\, which has €2.4 million in funding from the ERDF\, is to increase the penetration of renewable energies in the Atlantic Area (AA)\, through the development and demonstration of low-cost hybrid renewable energy systems by balancing the variable availability of wind\, solar and hydro energy. \nThe project contributes to the specific objective of energy transition and decarbonization\, promoting energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the community energy\, agriculture\, aquaculture and port sectors. The HY4RES Project includes 4 EU countries (Ireland\, Portugal\, Spain and France) where four Pilot Plants are being developed in the aforementioned areas. \nThere are nine project partners\, namely: Trinity College Dublin (Ireland)\, University of Córdoba (Spain)\, University of Oviedo (Spain)\, Técnico – University of Lisbon (Portugal)\, Vertigo Lab (France)\, Ig Energy (Portugal)\, AC3A (France)\, Feragua (Spain) and EasyHydro (Ireland). \n \nRead more: Project Website\nSign up to the project´s Newsletter\nJoin project´s LinkedIn Community: HY4RES on LinkedIn URL:https://ceris.pt/event/open-day-of-the-hy4res-project/ LOCATION:Mainho da Senhora do Salto\, Rio Sousa\, Portugal CATEGORIES:Events,OTHER EVENTS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://ceris.pt/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/HY4RES.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241106 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241109 DTSTAMP:20260515T123829 CREATED:20240108T182158Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240108T182817Z UID:11675-1730851200-1731110399@ceris.pt SUMMARY:CLBMCS 2024 and Construction 2024 DESCRIPTION:The Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) of the Universidade de Lisboa\, in collaboration with the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and the University of Minho (UM)\, is organising the 5th Luso-Brazilian Congress on Sustainable Building Materials (CLBMCS 2024)\, which aims to bring together experts from different fields to debate the sustainability of building materials. \nTogether with CLBMCS 2024\, IST is also organising the Construction Congress 2024\, which aims to discuss prospects for future developments in the construction sector\, including building materials\, building physics\, construction technologies\, quality control\, technical and financial management\, pathology and rehabilitation\, and sustainability in construction. \nThe joint organisation of CLBMCS 2024 and Construction 2024 seeks to enhance the complementarity and synergies resulting from the exchange of ideas and experiences between professors\, researchers\, technicians and students from public and private sector entities in Portugal and Brazil\, for the development and implementation of more sustainable solutions in the construction industry. \nThis joint event will take place at IST in Lisbon between 6 and 8 November 2024. \nWe would like to invite you to take part in CLBMCS 2024 and Construction 2024.\nIf you would like to submit a paper\, the deadline for submitting abstracts has been extended to 31 January 2024\, via: https://www.clbmcs-construcao-2024.com/. \n  URL:https://ceris.pt/event/11675/ CATEGORIES:OTHER EVENTS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ceris.pt/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CLBMCS_LogoBig.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20211012T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20211015T110000 DTSTAMP:20260515T123829 CREATED:20200612T211748Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201029T153724Z UID:8854-1634036400-1634295600@ceris.pt SUMMARY:CEES 2021 – October 2021 - Coimbra DESCRIPTION:CEES 2021 – 1st Conference on Construction\, Energy\, Environment and Sustainability will be held on 12-15 october 2021.
