TÜBİTAK - AB COST Projesi , 2020 - 2024
Europe is set to be a global role model in energy transition. It has made significant progress in building level
innovations and is now stepping up efforts towards city-wide transformation with the pioneering concept of
Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). The EU's Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) has set out a
vision to create 100 PEDs in Europe by 2025. The concept of PEDs is emerging and the knowledge and
skills needed for the planning and designing, implementation and monitoring, as well as replication and
mainstreaming of PEDs are yet to be advanced. The challenge is cross sectors and domains, thus the
solutions can only be found through collective innovation. This COST Action will drive the deployment of
PEDs by harmonising, sharing and disseminating knowledge and breakthroughs on PEDs across different
stakeholders, domains and sectors at the national and European level. It will establish a PED innovation ecosystem to facilitate open sharing of knowledge, exchange of ideas, pooling of resources, experimentation of
new methods and co-creation of novel solutions across Europe. Additionally, this COST Action will support
the capacity building of new generation PED professionals, Early Career Investigators as well as
experienced practitioners. It will mobilise the relevant actors from and across Europe to collectively
contribute to the long-term climate neutral goal.
