NCSD was involved in the EU financed Programme Leonardo da Vinci, as partner in the three year project Renewable Energy Sources and Environment Management

The project was implemented by a team of 9 partners:

- Transylvania University, Brasov – Romania (as coordinator)

- Foundation for SME, Brasov – Romania

- County Council Brasov – Romania

- National Centre for Sustainable Development, Bucharest – Romania

- University of Zaragoza – Spain

- Fachhochschule Aachen Julich – Germany

- Technological Research Centre, Patras – Greece

- Professional Training Centre Euro-New Horizons, Aigion – Greece

- University of Technology, Delft - the Netherlands

- The Institute for Sustainable Energy, Delft - the Netherlands.

This project aimed to develop a dynamic, user-friendly e-Training tool that will empower the interested users to browse along the technological development in RES&EM, sensing good practice projects around the world.

In order to fulfill this aim, the following objectives are stated:

- To build up a transnational network (among partners, with the possibility of enlargement) in order to develop a frame for continuing vocational training on RES&EM.

- To develop a group with expertise (trainers and training planners) to offer services and to insure the adaptability of the beneficiaries to the needs of the (working) market.

- To develop a Material Resources Centre, as a strong training and dissemination tool, to reinforce and to develop the existing infrastructure, in all partner institutions

- To develop the components of the e-Training tool, in terms of the e-Training products and training methodology based on ICT and to ensure an integrated training system.

- To test the quality of the products by delivering to ‘’test groups’’ the required information and training skills on how to introduce and implement RES&EM into the various economic, service and production sectors.

- To evaluate the quality of the e-Training tool and of the other products, by registering the feedback of the testing activities and through external evaluation processes. A Product Evaluation Group and a Strategy and Management Evaluation Group are responsible for the internal, transparent evaluation.

- To disseminate the project outcomes and to register the echo of these activities in order to use it for the improvement of the e-Training tool.

NCSD contribution: As partner in the Working Group "Energy and Environment" performed during the last year of the project the following activities: - Development of the module Waste and Wastewater -Basic level with the following components: History, Systems, Components, Market, Policies, Social &Environmental Issues, Case studies - Presentation of the preliminary project results in the annual meeting of LA21 cities; - Participation in the project final meeting ( Brasov - October 2005); - Dissemination of the project results at the international fair: ECOAMBIENTE ( Lisbon -November 2005).
