1- The ENPI Programme at a glance

• Through its European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), the EU works withits southern and eastern neighbours to achieve the closest possiblepolitical association and the greatest possible degree of economicintegration.

• Enlargements in 2004 and 2007 pushed the EU’s borders further eastand south, raising the question of how the EU should handle relationswith its new neighbours. So the EU developed a new European ENPgoverning relations with its neighbours to the east (Armenia,Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine), and to the south(Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, the occupiedPalestinian territory, Syria and Tunisia).

1- The ENPI Programme at a glance

• Since 1995, the southern Mediterranean countries have been linked tothe European Union through political, economic and diplomatic tiesknown as the ‘Barcelona process’, later re-named the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. At a summit meeting in Paris in July 2008,this partnership was relaunched as the Union for the Mediterranean,bringing together the 27 member states of the European Union and 16partner countries across the southern Mediterranean and the MiddleEast. The EU’s financial assistance to both groups of countries ismanaged by the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument(ENPI).

2- The ENPI CBC Programme at a glanceCooperation area

110 million people, 76 regions of 14 countries

Participating countries: Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Jordan, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Palestine, Portugal,Spain, Syria (participation currently suspended) and Tunisia.


General objective: to promote the sustainable and harmonious cooperationprocess at the Mediterranean Basin level by dealing with the commonchallenges and enhancing its endogenous potential.

Budget: € 200 million (€ 183 million for projects funding).

Joint Managing Authority: Autonomous Region of Sardinia (Italy).

Partnership as main driver: projects to be presented by at least three different organisations representing one EU country and one Partner country.



Priority 2Promotion of environmental sustainability at the basin level

Topic 3 – Solar EnergyDefinition of policies and promotion of pilot initiatives to support R&D, innovation and technology transfer, with particular attention to SMEs, in the field of Solar energy .

Capitalization of the results in order to improve the effects of the project and to create an added value for other projects implemented in the solar field, by developing

synergies among projects.

Expected Results

• 1 Capitalization plan• 6 info points established• 2 Networking conferences• 3 Annual work plan reports


WP3: Capitalization

Capitalization of the results in order to improve the effects of the project and to create an added value for other projects implemented in the solar field, by developing

synergies among projects.

Expected Results

• 1 Capitalization plan• 6 info points established• 2 Networking conferences• 3 Annual work plan reports


WP3: Capitalization

Focuses on the assessmentof solar energy technical knowledge, its development, its technological and social trends and the local regulation standards in the Mediterranean

area.

Expected Results• 2 Surveyinstruments(questionnaireand interviewmodels)• 60In-depth interviews• 600questionnaire• 1 Qualitativeanalysisreport


WP4: Context Analysis

Development of promotional events for local citizens and students focused on solar PV issues and alsoworkshop for local administrators.

Expected Results• 3500 students of 60 schools informed about solar energy and applied technologies

(students seminars)• 350 citizens informed about solar energy and applied technologies (citizens seminars)• 6 policy papers• 1 workshop for local administrators


WP5: Territorial Animation

A TSC of 14 experts will provide some guidelines for the pilot projects (on new solar PV technologies and architectonic integration of solar plants in existing buildings and new

ones)and guidelines for the training paths.

Expected Results• 18 Training paths• 1 guidelines document• 6 seminars for designers (engineers and architects), SMEs


WP6: Competences transfer

5 Solar PV plants will be installed in 5 out 6 regions involved. Public buildings will be selected in order to test different technologies and innovative architectural integration

solutions.

Expected Results• 5 Pilot projects • 85 kWp (kiloWattPicco) of PV panels installed (of about 17 kWp per plant).
