We have a great agenda. Browse through it at the link below and plan your SP2019 Experience. Hardcopies will be part of the registration bag (along with a SP2019 sustainable water bottle). Each workshop and each session moderator are interested in your participation and engagement. Join them, get involved, make an impact and create new opportunities. Registration remains open up and through the event. Join us. [ Download the Agenda here ]( http://2tuoh.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/o93o1_Cr7c1xmSZXuS-KuLOAQ-omeY_jnYf… ) 5 June Infoday & Brokerage Event – Get the Slide We encourage all SP2019 participants to take advantage of the Infoday and Brokerage Event organized by the French Energy NCP Network and the European Commission. Topic areas will include Energy-efficient buildings (EeB), Buildings in energy transition (B4E), Energy for consumers (EC), Energy system (ES) and Smart cities and communities (SCC) To help participants prepare their pitches – we now have the set of slides that will be used during the event and that cover the 20 upcoming call topics. Get them below!

For over 25 years, CRS4 has focused on digital technologies applied to biosciences, energy, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, human interactions, etc. More recently, these research efforts have been focused on the development of technological projects for the smart city of Cagliari, trying to take into account the complexity deriving from applying digital technologies to the typical processes of a medium-size, ancient, Italian city, located in an island just in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. The next challenge is to extend this approach to the entire island of Sardinia, trying to make a successful matching between technology and socio-economical aspects of the territory. We are also excited to welcome and introduce engineers Niccolò Elia Sovico & Sergio Pedolazzi for their closing ceremony keynote "Crowdsourcing Sustainable Places." They believe that all of us should be able to get involved in making sustainability projects happen – so they launched ENER2CROWD, the first Italian lending crowdfunding platform for energy saving and renewable energy projects. Come hear about how this innovative startup plans to disrupt the sustainability landscape. "Italian Day" – Smart Energy Communitie Looking to practice your Italian? Don't miss the "Italian Day" session on Friday 7th June dedicated to Smart Energy Communities focusing on innovative technologies and smartening of the grid in Italy. The participation of over 100 local area professionals and public stakeholders is expected. Workshop Highlight [ ]( http://2tuoh.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/cUyUHdnSau0r0YnBlHZye7-aKe31wCfdAL5… ) Targeting Urban Planners, Architects, Contractors and other built environment stakeholders, this workshop will provide a holistic and thought-provoking view on how nature based solutions are increasingly a part of sustainable places and the tools and methods to maximize the impact of their implementation. [ Download the workshop flyer here ]( http://2tuoh.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/s0YGsdhKayPv6mAJY6XPhV2wyOgt2cvUmqZ… ) Social Program - Don't forget to sign up! City Tour – Discover Cagliari Discover Cagliari’s historical neighborhoods with a 2-hour free guided tour at the end of the first conference day on 5th June. Limited spaces available (60). National Park Visit Immediately following the event on the afternoon of 7th June, the organizing committee is making available a guided visit to the Molentargius-Saline natural park which covers over 1600 hectares and which is famous for the numerous colonies of flamingos that live there. Since the decommissioning of the salt extraction activities, the park has been redeveloped and transformed into what is now one of the richest birdlife park of Sardinia. The park is ideal for an experience in contact with nature, just five minutes away from the city center and the guided tour will allow you to discover the characteristics and peculiarities of the area.
