Training for Energy Efficient Operation (TrainERGY)

Developing an innovative and evidence-based framework transforming the skillset provided by the academic institutions to obtain Energy Efficient Operations.

Off

To foster greater exchange between academia and industry, TrainERGY aims to develop an innovative, evidence-based transnational framework that will markedly improve the knowledge and skills of academic institutions to produce more marked oriented energy efficient operations (EEO) curricula, reducing the barriers in this field.

To achieve this objective, the team, which is comprised of key academics, small-medium enterprises (SMEs), and industrial association partners from different sectors, work together to identify existing training needs, create a framework for the development of EEO curricula, and produce learning materials for Masters level courses.

In addition, led by the University of Sheffield, the team develops an evidence-based Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) based on the SCEnATi where feedback from multiple stakeholders (academics, students, industry) will be evaluated and incorporated into the EEO curriculum in an open innovation and co-creation manner. TrainERGY, which involves Poland, the UK, Greece and Italy, is funded by the European Commission ERASMUS+ programme.
