On 23rd and 24th May, the partners of the HABITABLE Project met in Aveiro to celebrate the Multiplier Event in Portugal and the 2nd Transnational Partners Meeting.
The project’s 2nd Multiplier Event, entitled ‘Transforming Competences 4 Sustainable Habitat’, took place at the University of Aveiro and was co-organised by the partners Cluster Habitat Sustentável and CTCV.
The event, which addressed the importance of green and digital skills in transforming the Habitat value chain, kicked off with an opening session by António Baio Dias (CTCV), followed by a speech entitled ‘Habitable – Alliance of Centres of Excellence in Vocational Training for Sustainable Habitat’ by Carmen Devesa (AEICE), who presented the project’s guidelines, objectives and expected results.
The event continued with the intervention of Hélder Gonçalves (LNEG), who spoke about ‘Green Skills for Sustainable Habitat’, followed by a Panel Discussion on the same theme, moderated by Victor Ferreira (Cluster Habitat Sustentável). The panel featured interventions from:
- Ribeiro Anabela, University of Coimbra
- Ana Santana, Grestel – Produtos Cerâmicos, S.A.
- Francisco Paiva, AICCOPN
- António Neves, University of Aveiro
- Hugo Rodrigues, Ordem dos Engenheiros
After the panel discussion, Sophie Patrício (Centre Region Coordination Commission) presented the Institutional Pact for Valuing the Circular Economy in the Centre Region and Ana Neves (Erasmus+ National Agency) presented the results achieved in ‘2023 – European Year of Skills’.
The closing session was led by Victor Ferreira (University of Aveiro), who emphasised the topicality and relevance of reflecting on the issues discussed during this event, highlighting the decisive role that the HABITABLE project seeks to play in this discussion and its possible solutions.
On 24th, also at the University of Aveiro, the project partners held their second face-to-face working meeting – ‘2nd Transnational Partners Meeting’, organised by the partner Cluster Habitat Sustentável, where they discussed the results of the tasks completed so far, presented the status of the tasks under development and planned the start of new tasks in the different WPs.
