The final conference is a cooperation between the partners of the European projects:

  • Smart Light Concepts

    • ABOUT:
      LED lights in every street lamp in the city centre that is on the World Heritage List of UNESCO. Lamps that dim at night and turn on when people cycle or drive past. In the European research project Smart Light Concepts (SLIC), researchers from Avans University of Applied Sciences and Portsmouth University explore, together with cities, municipalities and provincial authorities in 4 countries (Belgium, France, the Netherlands and United Kingdom), different solutions for reducing carbon emissions from public lighting. The project focusses on choosing feasible smart technologies, financing this investment and engaging with stakeholders so that the new technologies are affordable and accepted. The project reports on business models and develops a Decision Support Tool to make educated choices on smart light concepts.

    • PARTNERS:
      Avans University, University of Portsmouth, County Council Suffolk, Amiens, Stad Brugge, Fluvius, Provincie West-Vlaanderen, West-Vlaamse Intercommunale, Gemeente Etten-Leur

       

  • SMART-SPACE
    • ABOUT:
      SMART-SPACE brings together end-users (cities/citizens) and innovation stakeholders (research institutes, SMEs, enterprises) from NL, BE, FR and IE to jointly facilitate the uptake of smart lighting to reduce energy consumption, CO2 emission and to enhance the liveability of public spaces in small/mid-size municipalities. Until now implementation occurred mainly in small scale pilot projects, indicating that to reach the low carbon objectives requires a strong, transnational collaboration to move beyond piecemeal solutions.

    • PARTNERS:
      Stad Oostende, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Spie Infratechniek, Stad Sint-Niklaas, Stad Middelburg, Comhairle Contae Thiobraid Arann, Intemo Special Products, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Innovation LAB, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Intelligent Lighting Instituut, Université de Picardie Jules Verne, LUCI – Lighting Urban Community International, Fluvius
