CECODHAS Housing Europe Conference
CHC will be hosting the first ever CECODHAS Housing Europe Conference at Cardiff Museum in June. It will offer an opportunity to present achievements in the field of sustainable energy and housing, to consider current and future EU funding opportunities and reflect on the needs for future EU support.
The event will also be an opportunity to show how EU support can be used in improving living conditions of EU citizens. By taking the example of energy efficiency investments in existing housing supported by the EU Structural Funds, the conference will look at the achievements made over the past few years, not only in Wales (in particular Arbed) and the rest of the UK but also in other EU countries.
Key national and EU decision makers will hold a dialogue with participants on the future policy priorities and budgets of the EU after 2013 and how sustainable energy projects in particular in the housing sector could be further supported.
This event forms part of a European project called Structural Funds Energy Invest, (co-financed by the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme), whose aim is to help increase the use of Structural Funds for sustainable energy projects. It will take place within the framework of the 2011 CECODHAS Housing Europe General Assembly Meetings hosted by Community Housing Cymru.
A draft programme is available at www.housingeurope.eu
