On July 4th, SolDAC was present at the first SEED Congress, the First International Conference on Sustainable Energy Education, SEED 2024!
SEED (Sustainable Energy EDucation) is a CoVE (Centers of Vocational Excellence) program. It is an initiative to establish transnational platforms with the support of the Erasmus+ program to find solutions for Europe to become a fossil fuel-free energy continent through education and research.

The congress, with a theme of ‘Improving professional practice through regional cooperation,’ was a pivotal event set to shape sustainable energy education’s future. More than 300 participants attended, and crucial links and cooperation were established at regional and national levels.
LOMARTOV was in charge of organizing the SolDAC workshop. This workshop consisted of two parts. In the first part, the different participating projects (eight in total) explained the technologies and innovations developed in the context of each project and proposed a set of competencies needed to implement the innovations.
