SEEV4-City

Meet us here

  • Join SEEV4-City experts from KU Leuven, Applied University of Amsterdam and the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht at the IDOLAAD event “E-mobility | getting smart with data” in Amsterdam on 18 June! Full program and information on this link!

 

  • The 27th of November 2018, SEEV4-City hosted their second mid-term event during the IEEESG4SC in Genk, Belgium, by organising a debate during the Tech Session 4B named: "The Future of V2G and Smart Charging". More information here.

 

  • On the 17th of October 2018, SEEV4-City hosted his first mid-term event titled: "Electromobility in practice-solutions, experiences & lessons learnt". With the focus on policy and cities, SEEV4-City worked together with Interreg's CleanMobilEnergy project. The full workshop offered a unique overview on the most innovative EV infrastructure, smart grid management, and vehicle to grid technology, illustrated new energy services business models for efficient energy demand management and grid connection and promoted reflection among local authorities and the private sector on their role and responsibility as energy management policy evolves and integrates into sustainable mobility plans.

 

  • On the 5th of June, SEEV4-City will organise a session about Europe’s Urban Energy-Mobility Transition, titled “Demonstration, upscaling & uptake in city-planning, how to achieve adequate policy measures and large-scale implementation.” together with three other European projects CleanMobilEnergy, SIMPLA & EV ENERGY.
    During this event activities developed by and with European cities and regions that are frontrunners applying innovative renewable energy solutions combined with EV charging infrastructure will be presented. The four European projects are working on these topics from different angles, in different stages and provide ingredients to get these sustainable solutions replicated in large scale. The target is city level and beyond. These project initiatives jointly aim to boost progress.
