European Countries have agreed on a common strategy to promote the use of renewable energy and the energy efficiency. Also other countries are about to face an energy revolution. To support the energy transition, all countries need to build internal competences, to train energy experts, to enact energy policies and design a system of incentives, to support business and local market, also through international collaborations. Objective of the project is to build an original data set intended to evaluate the impact on sustainable development (job/enterprise creation, women empowerment, internazionalization and new migration patterns) of European Union programs of Capacity Building and Knowledge Transfer in the renewable energy sector at Higher Education level. Moreover, a specific objective is to investigate the effectiveness of trainings to improve the quality of future proposals and to define innovative training methodologies to be adapted to different contexts. The project combines the long experience in international collaborations and the technical competences on low impact technologies, energy efficiency and training/education reached by the researchers at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (DIMA), the statistical and econometric skills of the team at the Department of Statistics (DSS) with the technical knowledge of the Department of Informatics (DI) on development of online platforms. The research framework associated with ERASMUS + projects running at Sapienza University wants to be a test dimension for creating a survey model replicable in more varied and comprehensive contexts.
