This section should be a maximum of 2 pages.
Why is it important that your action is carried out on the European level - compared to a series of local, regional or national actions? Please describe the EU added value of your proposal following the sub-headers (a to c), which are the three sub-criteria of award criterion 4:
- A) Evidence of the benefit of EU collaboration:What will be the added value of this European collaboration compared to separate local or national actions? Is this collaboration clearly demonstrated in the specific activities of your work programme?
- B) Geographical focus: What are the exact target areas (countries, regions, etc) that your action is addressing? Why did you choose this particular focus? How is this choice in line with the action’sobjectives?
B) Geographical focus
What are the exact target areas (countries, regions, etc) that your action is addressing? Why did you choose this particular focus? How is this choice in line with the action’sobjectives?
RINNOVATE will address two geographical targets:
- the partners' regions
- the virtual community throughout EU regions.
The first group is identified in terms of NUTS codes as follows:
- ESPAÑA, ES1 NOROESTE
- Italy, ITE, CENTRO (I),
- Italy, ITD, NORD-EST
- PORTUGAL, PT1 CONTINENTE
- UNITED KINGDOM, UKN NORTHERN IRELAND
Reasons for this focus reflect the knowledge that partners have about the target areas and their capacity reach and influence key actors in it. In Spain, ITG and APPLUS work at national extent, but are barycentric in NorOeste, coincident with INEGA whose institutional scope is Galicia (ES11). In Italy partners address targets in Central-Eastern regions, with their centre of action in Ancona, Marche (ITE3) where TRECON and CNA Marche are based. TRECON extends its influence northbound to include North-Eastern regions. In Portugal INEGI works at national dimension. CST (Univewrsity of Ulster) extends it influence to Northern Ireland.
The combination of regions covers a wide range of EU patterns in terms of climate, spatial planning and features of the built environment, cultural attitudes, energy consumption, degree of RES penetration, etc. The geographical feature of the partnership will help ensure effectiveness of local actions without losing EU-wide perspective about cross-cutting issues.
The second target has special features, because the object of intervention is geo-referenced but can be wherever in the EU (during the pilot phase we expect to see a concentrration around partners reagions again) but services can be delivered by community and project members distributed in different regions. Owners, consultants, integrators and suppliers working together on specific cases (e.g. procurement) will help to propagate the concept of ZEBRA (nearly Zero Energy Building in Renovation as a standard Approach) at EU dimension.
- C) Transferability: What are the potential and the conditions for transferring the results to those parts of the EU which are not directly covered by your proposal? What are your plans andactivities in your Work Programme to initiate this transfer?
