The main topic of the seminar is the potential of energy communities to contribute to increasing gender equality and inclusivity in regional energy. The seminar will focus not only on presenting theoretical aspects of supporting inclusion and the role of energy communities, but also on approaches and tools or examples of good practice that can help increase the involvement of women and other groups in initiatives aimed at developing energy communities.
The seminar is intended for everyone, experts, companies, activists or representatives of the public who are interested in sharing experience, obtaining new information or practical examples in this area.
