Sustainable mobility

The Regional Energy Agency of Northern Croatia (REAN) organised the Kick-Off meeting of the RuralMED-Mobility project on March 12th and 13th March in Koprivnica, Croatia. The event brought together project partners from 8 European countries, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Croatia.

The RuralMED Mobility project, led by AGENEX and with active participation of the Directorate General for Mobility and Transport of the Extremadura Regional Government, aims to test various innovative actions on electric mobility in rural environments.

The representatives of Extremadura, AGENEX and the D.G. for Mobility and Transport, have begun to design a pilot action on a sustainable mobility service and ICTs in the northwestern part of the region.

During the project meeting, not only the initiatives in Extremadura but also those of the other participating regions were explained. The meeting closed with the presentation of the actions of support to the project by the thematic area "Green Living Areas", of the program Interreg Euro-Med, by the Regional Agency of Energy and Climate of North-western Croatia (REGEA).

The second day saw an international symposium on the development of electromobility in rural areas, jointly organized by REAN and the Koprivnica-Krizevci County (Croatia).

Besides to the partners of the MED project, participants from higher education institutions, local and regional government entities, the Croatian Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund, and electric mobility solution providers converged in this second meeting at the Community Open University in Koprivnica.

The RuralMED Mobility project, with a duration of more than 2 years, has been co-financed by the ERDF funds of the European Union through the Interreg Euro-MED Programme.
