4th Partner Meeting of the Interreg Euro-MED Project “RECinMED” and Citizen Engagement Workshop in Croatia

December 8, 2025

Neapolis University Pafos was represented by Dr Natia Anastasi, Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering, and Dr Evanthia Dova, Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture, Land and Environmental Sciences, at the 4th partner meeting of the international project Interreg Euro-MED “RECinMED: A Multitude of Inclusive Renewable Energy Communities in the Mediterranean Region” which took place on 26 November 2025 in Split, Croatia.

The RECinMED project promotes innovative approaches for supporting the creation and sustainable operation of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) across the Mediterranean. Its methodology is built on establishing new cooperation networks and coordinating transnational activities with related EU initiatives. Project partners are organised into three Working Groups reflecting distinct geographical contexts: urban areas, rural regions and islands.

The consortium includes School Center Velenje (SI), ENERGIES 2050 (FR), AREANATejo (PT), NGO ASSO (IT), Argonauta (HR), PI RERA S.D. (HR), the University of Bologna (IT), and the municipalities of Granada (ES), Smolyan (BG) and Derventa (BA). The Neapolis University Pafos research team also consists of Associate Professors Dr Ioannis A. Pissourios and Dr Georgios D. Pavlidis, and Dr Georgios Sklias, Lecturer in the Department of Economics and Business.

Hosted by RERA S.D., the meeting in Split focused on methodologies and citizen engagement strategies to support the development of Renewable Energy Communities, alongside the preparation of educational material intended to guide local involvement. As part of the programme, partners visited the island of Šolta, where one of the project’s three pilot actions is currently being implemented. The local workshop brought together stakeholders and residents from both Šolta and the wider Split–Dalmatia region.

The pilot action on Šolta is being developed in close collaboration with municipal authorities and local organisations, supported by the coordinated strategic and technical expertise of the RECinMED consortium. This combination of on-site assessment and direct stakeholder interaction strengthens the project’s mission to promote inclusive, resilient and community-driven energy transitions throughout the Mediterranean.
