IDES-EDU

The IDES-EDU project educated, trained and delivered specialists, both students and professionals, in Integral Sustainable Energy Design of the Built Environment.

In IDES-EDU 15 universities developed curricula and training programmes for MSc students and Professionals within a European framework. The courses will be further elaborated and implemented within national consortia in which educational institutes will collaborate with relevant key actors and stakeholders, such as representatives and/or branch organisations of the building sector and accrediting bodies.

All EU member states were addressed in this action by the university exchange programme, potentially involving universities in all member states, starting from the 3rd year of the project.
