The COMANAGE project partners met in Rome to review the project's progress and move forward with a clearer vision.

AISFOR, the leader in training, had already announced the opening of the online course in June of this year and is now coordinating with the pilot projects to launch face-to-face meetings.

These will be workshops where participants will take an active role. They will be introduced to the three tools developed by the project—DSS, Elearning, and Toolkit—and will be the first to test them with the support of their developers.

During this meeting, some representatives from Lazio's Energy Communities (CER) were already involved in this networking process. To strengthen this synergy, a dedicated moment for mutual understanding and identifying common goals was held, guided by Irini Theodorakopoulou (see photo with the thread). Their insights and direct experiences enriched the discussion and established a direct connection with the issues they face daily, which were of great interest not only to the Italian partners but also to the international ones.

Each Energy Community can have different dynamics, but both at the national and European level, they face common barriers. Through these meetings, COMANAGE aims to refine its tools to offer valid and practically useful support to help them overcome these barriers and facilitate the formation of new Energy Communities.

The vision of the COMANAGE project is to create real change, and this can only arise from meetings and exchanges with the local Energy Communities, to whom the work of COMANAGE is dedicated.
