Cross-border Living Lab for the co-creation and co-innovation of university buildings renovations
The core concept of the Mediterranean Cross-border Living Lab (MCbLL) under the Med-EcoSuRe project is that working with stakeholders can produce more effective innovative solutions. Physical and virtual tools were developed to stimulate participatory processes, supporting university’ building managers with predictive tools and enhancing their capacity to plan and implement sustainable energy mix strategies and technologies in the different Mediterranean climatic contexts.
The MCbLL is an international network of people with knowledge and know-how on eco-solutions, connected through a platform and operating on local pilots, related to the renovations of university buildings in the Mediterranean area.
For the establishment and management of the Living Lab, the following was created:
- Guidelines for governance & management, Exploitation & valorisation of results (including different types of agreements)
- Guidelines on stakeholders’ management
- Action plans for Local Living Labs
A series of webinars was organized to launch MED beX.live (University Buildings as a Living Experience), the virtual counterpart of the Mediterranean Cross Border Living Lab (MCbLL).
Covering interconnected themes on eco-sustainable university renovations in the Med-Area investigated by the Med-EcoSuRe project, five webinars answered to the following questions:
- How to implement sustainable policies with a cost-effective approach for construction and building renovation?
- How to perform energy efficient renovation of school buildings and its integration into education programs and education environments?
- How may technology, especially BIM Methodology, accelerate growth and competitiveness in the building sector?
- How to implement the techno-economic assessment of on-grid solar PV systems?
- How can cost-effective energy efficiency and high-tech renewables take place in isolated zones/towns?

Roadmap for Operational uptake of EMPHASIS
A roadmap consolidating recommendations and methodologies for Open Innovation in a modular toolbox for the Euromed area. This task will support the uptake of the EMPHASIS approach, services and operational environment through a hands-on EUROMED wide Deployment plan. Based on the OI Network Handbook, the consortium will propose different business scenarios, strategic alliance building with similar and/or complementary initiatives and will deliver a set of proposals for capitalization from operators.
EMPHASIS Open call document
Design and launch of an open call where lean templates for submitting needs and offers will be developed and integrated in the online platform. The call will set several evaluation criteria (including TRL and MRL) and will secure a transparent, open and fair procedure for all beneficiaries. Incorporation of necessary legal and GDPR policy procedures will be considered. We anticipate reaching at least 80 SMEs' offers and needs from targets interested in engaging with EMPHASIS OI Network.
TECHLOG O.5.7 - Joint proposal for a new shared qualification standard
The need to define standards for advanced training and licensing and qualification certification in the (trans)port and logistics field was among the main objectives of the project.
In the context of the TECHLOG project, stakeholders from port and transport companies and institutions from all partner countries were invited to take part in a capacity-building path, through which they were to exchange views and knowledge to build, supportedby the project partners and two external experts, a joint proposal for a common qualification standard for port and transport workers.
To this end, two preparatory online meetings, one in-person workshop, and one final recapitulatory online session were held.
The target audience for participation in the consultancy included:
1. Public officials with an administrative background and expertise in standardization and safety, such as:
a) State control officials in the shipping sector.
b) Harbormasters, often tasked with overseeing port operations in various countries.
2. Personnel involved in port operations, including:
c) Labor inspectorate officials responsible for health and safety regulations.
d) Port Authority representatives.
3. Professionals in logistics and transportation, such as:
e) Road safety officials.
f) Health and safety experts.
The resulting joint qualification standard is contained in Deliverable O.5.7, and was presented at the TECHLOG Final Conference, which took place in Cagliari on December 1st, 2023.
