Strategic Hubs for the Analysis and Acceleration of the Mediterranean Solar Sector (SHAAMS)
Start date: Nov 8, 2012, End date: Nov 7, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project in brief The last decades have witnessed a growing interest for solar energy initiatives in the Mediterranean region, coupled with a growing pressure to ensure an actual shift from traditional energies towards a more efficient energy system. While many successful national and regional projects have been implemented in order to develop market, policy and technical actions, the transition to solar energy needs to be supported by a comprehensive and unified process at Mediterranean level. As a response to this challenge, SHAAMS aims to raise public awareness on energy efficiency through the transferability and implementation of good practices in legal, regulatory, economic, organizational issues and new financing mechanisms, in order to facilitate the take up of solar technologies in Mediterranean countries. Specific objectives• To establish efficiency-proven governance solutions aimed at identifying innovative, transferable and sustainable solar energy strategies • To promote a cultural, behavioural and operational change towards the success of solar energy-driven solutions • To facilitate the transfer of solar technologies by implementing shared mechanisms and procedures Expected Results: • Policy makers provided with enhanced information and capacities to implement energy efficiency support policies and strategies • Improved private and public agents knowledge on solar energy projects, funding and market requirements • Implemented new solar energy-driven solutions resulting from technology transfer activities and brokerage events • Reduced technology gap between the involved regions • Increased number of research and training programmes on solar energy developed by local institutions.
