1- FOSTEr in MED in the ENPI CBC Program

The multilateral cross-border cooperation "Mediterranean Sea BasinProgram" is part of the new European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and of itsfinancing instrument European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument(ENPI) for the 2007-2013 period.

It aims at reinforcing cooperation between the European Union (EU) andpartner countries regions placed along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

WP6- Competences transfer: The TSC of 14 experts will provide some guidelinesfor the pilot projects (on new solar PV technologies and architectonic integration of solarplants in existing buildings and new ones)and guidelines for the training paths which willimpact on three groups: Installers (mainly SMEs),Designers (architects andengineers)Universitystudents

• 18 Training paths• 1 guidelines document• 6 seminars:

- 180 designers trained- 120 installers trained- 150 University students trained
