On the 24th of January 2019, there was a networking meeting in Frederica, Denmark. Twenty-five Danish influencers and implementers working with green solutions in various ways met to share knowledge and ideas. Birgitte Bjørn Petersen from 2IMPREZS partner House of Science (HoS) joined the meeting and was invited to present 2IMPREZS.

 

Birgitte Bjørn Petersen presented 2IMPREZS as an example of an EU-funded, Interreg North Sea Region (NSR) project and explained how 2IMPREZS has developed from an application to a well-received project. In detail, she discussed the application process and how HoS and the Municipality of Sønderborg became involved in the 2IMPREZS NSR project. Petersen explained the 2IMPREZS focus on implementing energy saving methods to develop energy-efficient and nearly zero-energy schools.
