EUREKA CONTINUES UPWARD TRAJECTORY
Next stops: Bucharest and Bruges
Brussels, 14 June 2018: The European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE) and the European Ventilation Industry Association (EVIA) are delighted to announce the timing for the next two EUREKA events.
Bucharest (Romania) will be the next stopping-off point for the EUREKA roadshow on Friday 14 December 2018, following on from the inaugural EUREKA roadshow which took place in Italy last year. This will help prepare the ground for EUREKA 2019, which will take place at the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium, on 11-12 June 2019.
“The EUREKA project will continue to grow and explore ways for the industry to remain competitive and fulfil the needs of future generations,” said EPEE Director-General Andrea Voigt. “The success of EUREKA 2017 in Berlin demonstrated the need to take the EUREKA project around the European Union and encourage cross-border support. Our Bucharest roadshow event will enable our colleagues in the Romanian industry and further afield to come along and find out what EUREKA is trying to achieve.”
Russell Patten, Secretary General of EVIA, said: “We are delighted to be working once again with our friends at EPEE and further developing the EUREKA concept across Europe. With Romania due to take over the Presidency of the EU in the first half of 2019, there will be no better time to connect with Romanian decision-makers and industry and exchange ideas on how to make our industry fit for the future.”
Launched in 2016 by EPEE and EVIA – two major European associations representing the heating, cooling and ventilation industry – the EUREKA project is a highly original concept dedicated to the role of the HVACR sector (Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration) for society and future generations. It provides a unique forum for cross-generation debates, enabling industry to continue innovating and meet even higher levels of comfort and sustainability.
The first edition of EUREKA took place in The Hague in 2016 and the second in Berlin in December 2017, both of which sandwiched the roadshow event in Italy in September 2017. Stay tuned for news about other future EUREKA events around Europe!
