نبذة عن المشروع

The MedRiSSE project (“Replicable Innovations of SSE in the provision of services and creation of decent jobs in the post Covid-19 crisis recovery”) was submitted under the ENI CBC MED Call of Capitalisation and approved for funding by the JMC on 22/03/2021. The Grant Contract was signed on 14/07/2021 after the requested documents and clarifications were submitted to the Managing Authority of the ENI CBC MED Programme.

MedRiSSE is a social innovation initiative, led by the NGO Assembly of Cooperation for Peace (ACPP), that aims to develop a Mediterranean scalability pathway for social innovations enabling the co‑production of municipal services with local Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) actors. These innovations have emerged through government–SSE interactions in multiple ENI‑funded projects and represent efficient practices that support progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and protect vulnerable groups in post‑Covid‑19 Mediterranean economies.

The project involves 7 partner entities and 7 associated entities across 5 countries (Spain, Italy, Palestine, Jordan, Tunisia), with a total budget of €1.1 million (90% programme contribution) and an implementation period of 24 months (01/09/2021 – 30/08/2023).

Built on experience gained through five cooperation projects funded by the European Neighborhood Instrument — ENI CBC Med 2014–2020 (MedTOWN & MoreThanAJob), ENPI MED 2007–2013 (RUWOMED), EuropeAid (MedUP), and IESS (CitESS, LINGARE) — MedRiSSE seeks to widen the Community of Practice (CoP) launched by MedTOWN. It brings together policy makers, SSE actors, researchers, and practitioners to co‑create a Mediterranean Co‑Production Lab operating under Social Solidarity Economy principles and a mutual credit system.

أهداف المشروع

• Promote the co‑production of social policies to combat poverty, inequality, and social exclusion in the Mediterranean.
• Address environmental unsustainability by developing and scaling Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) innovations.
• Establish a joint framework approach for co‑production of social policies across participating Mediterranean countries.

    ETRERA 2020 (Empowering Trans‑Mediterranean Renewable Energy Research Alliance for Europe 2020) aims to secure future energy     needs in the Euro‑Mediterranean area by reinforcing and creating a collaborative research/innovation network supporting     renewable energy sources (RES) technologies in line with EU policy priorities. The project works to close gaps between research     and innovation in renewable energy production, distribution, and storage, with emphasis on wind, photovoltaic (PV), grid     connection, and solar thermal technologies.  

    It also seeks to break new ground in renewable energy deployment by building a complete energy chain—from generation, through     storage, to end‑use—so that research outcomes in participating centers translate into practical daily applications. In doing so,     the project encourages greater internationalization of research and innovation actors (including those in the province of Messina)     toward collaboration with partners across the southern Mediterranean.  

أهداف المشروع

   
• Improve human resources and technical know‑how within Mediterranean Partner Countries’ RTD organizations.
   
• Increase networking opportunities among key actors across the renewable energy (RES) value chain.
   
• Strengthen public–private partnerships in the renewable energy sector.
   
• Improve accessibility to research facilities for participating stakeholders.
   
• Raise the visibility of the project and partners to attract additional research and industry collaboration.

نبذة عن المشروع

In Palestine, the weakness of the grid undermines secure electricity supply for critical facilities (hospitals, schools, etc.) and hinders the development of small and medium industries. The MEDSOLAR project proposes reducing reliance on polluting, expensive generators by installing a solar PV system with transient storage integrated alongside existing generators. When the grid is available, PV energy is injected into it; during grid interruptions, backup is provided by the PV system coupled with a generator when PV alone is insufficient. Transient storage ensures continuity of supply during short variations or while the generator starts up.

Technology transfer will be supported through training activities, workshops, and pilot project implementation. Workshops and dissemination events will serve as participatory processes to promote cross‑border stakeholder networks. Beneficiaries and stakeholders will be carefully selected to support project sustainability and long‑term development.

Final beneficiaries are expected to benefit from reduced energy costs and increased available energy. Over the long term, the wider population will gain from improved continuity of supply, lower costs for alternative energy sources, and reduced pollution.

أهداف المشروع

• Reduce dependence on polluting and costly generators through solar PV systems with transient storage.
• Secure continuous power for critical facilities during grid interruptions.
• Transfer technology via targeted training activities, workshops, and pilot projects.
• Promote cross‑border stakeholder networks through participatory dissemination events.
• Lower energy costs, increase energy availability, and reduce pollution for long‑term community benefit.

5TOI 4EWAS (Quintuple Helix Approach to Targeted Open Innovation in Energy, Water & Agriculture in the South Mediterranean Neighborhood) focuses on targeted open innovation addressing societal challenges in energy, water, and agriculture through a balanced, innovation‑friendly ecosystem in the Southern Mediterranean Neighborhood (SMN), grounded in the Quintuple Helix and NEXUS approaches. The project seeks to enhance regional smart specialization and development by boosting research capacity, enabling effective mobility of young innovators and researchers, and expanding shared knowledge to strengthen participation in the EU Research Area. It aims to create favorable, stable conditions for international cooperation and to establish a Common Knowledge & Innovation Space that delivers real socio‑economic impact based on co‑ownership and mutual benefits.

أهداف المشروع

• Support international science & innovation policy dialogue and cooperation on water, energy, and food following the NEXUS approach with co‑design and co‑ownership.
• Foster targeted open innovation collaboration between EU and Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC) in the energy, water, and food sectors to improve coordination and synergies across policies and programmes.
• Set up a Common Knowledge & Innovation Space to build a collaborative R&I ecosystem in the Southern Mediterranean Neighborhood.
• Raise awareness of targeted open innovation in the three strategic sectors among policy, research, business, and civil society communities in both EU and MPC regions.
• Promote international cooperation concepts to address shared challenges and seize common opportunities.

نبذة عن المشروع

Low‑energy educational buildings are becoming the standard for new facilities in European and Mediterranean partner countries, yet the efficient renovation of existing buildings remains a major development priority. Although universities continue to generate technical solutions for eco‑sustainable renovation, a gap persists between designed models and real‑world implementation.

The MedEcoSuRe project builds on the pivotal role of Mediterranean universities in advancing environmental development and combating climate change. It convenes researchers and stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of eco‑sustainable renovation challenges and to drive a regional knowledge‑to‑action process beginning with the university campus itself.

A “Living Lab” will be established to generate energy renovation solutions for university energy managers using decision‑support tools that integrate social, economic, and environmental criteria. By placing academics at the core of activities, the project aims to produce scientifically grounded, context‑ready solutions and to monitor and scale resulting improvements.

أهداف المشروع

• Value and implement innovative, eco‑sustainable energy renovation solutions for Mediterranean higher education institutions.
• Introduce a collaborative decision‑support approach that balances social, economic, and environmental factors.
• Bridge the gap between technical renovation models and practical on‑campus application through a Living Lab process.
• Strengthen regional knowledge‑to‑action capacity to address climate change starting from university campuses.
• Support monitoring and scale‑up of demonstrated energy improvements across partner institutions.
