Thematic: Greener, Smarter, More social
Programme: Interreg Central Europe
Lifetime: April 2023 – March 2026

Goal:

The objective of JETforCE is to use digitisation as a means of co-designing and co-implementing the energy transition in Central Europe, to ensure that it takes place without unduly negative and disproportionate socio-economic impacts on certain areas. The project therefore aims to provide the public authorities and stakeholders involved with the digital skills and solutions needed to develop a "just" energy transition that:

• actively involves citizens, including the most vulnerable ones, in the decision-making process;
• uses a socio-economic approach to assess energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies, through a "just transition" perspective.

Main actions:

The project includes three main lines of action:

• Co-design of tools for a just digital transition that digitally involve citizens in the co-creation of policies, including through the creation of "Alliances for Just Ecological Transition", local stakeholder groups that follow the whole project and contribute to networking and exchange of ideas.
• Development of two pilot actions for the digital involvement of citizens.
• Adoption of the newly developed solutions and their integration into the partners' political strategies.
