INRES

Apr 2009 - Sep 2011

The INRES project will aim to enhance the integration and the cooperation among three European insular regions:

• Canary Islands (Spain),
• Crete (Greece), and
• Samso (Denmark).

The three regions establish a mutual learning process and collaborative relationships.

The consortium, formed of 10 partners, targets the development of an inter-regional strategy for innovative measures.

Considering the previous experience in regional policies and networking, the project partners have decided to form the consortium based on the idea of

• putting together regional research-driven clusters dealing with renewable energy concerns, and
• gathering entities from governmental, research and industrial side in order to address energy-related problems, and
• create a common strategy for the development of renewable energy technologies,
• supporting finally the self-sustainability of the islands.

The project is supported 90% by the European Union as a Support Action under SP4-Capacities, seventh framework programme FP7.
