  13. RUSE Redirecting Urban areas development towards Sustainable Energy

  14. CONTEXT From 1st January 2004, the Structural Funds (SF) are available in the new member states (NMS). One of the main challenges we are facing is to use this new opportunity in the most sustainable way, especially regarding energy issues which are a full component of regional development. Experience has already been gained in the EU15, including both good and bad practice.

  15. OBJECTIVES The RUSE operation aims at “redirecting urban areas development towards sustainable energy”. The overall objective is to improve the use of SF - and other financial resources - in the urban projects of 4 NMS, progressing towards a better integration of sustainable energy issues in their projects. To reach this goal, it is essential to improve capacity building in collective structures (city networks, agencies) and individual bodies (municipalities).

  16. PARTNERSHIP • the leader is Energie Cités, a network of European municipalities promoting local sustainable energy policies as an element of urban development, which is very experienced in the management of European projects. • 4 major partners, in Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Lithuania with various legal structures. • 10 Municipalities and municipal energy agencies and 2 national energy agencies from the EU15. • 3 city networks from Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia are also associated.

  17. PARTNERSHIP AND LOCATION

  18. BUDGET Total cost: 1 248 000 € Interreg IIIC: 755 000 € Co-financing: 493 000 € DURATION 36 months

  19. MAIN ACTIVITIES • exchange of experience and knowledge • creation of a network of expertise • preparation/dissemination of good practice case studies/guides • provision of information to municipalities and relevant bodies • promotion of the project

  20. OUTPUTS • communication products (leaflet, web site; newsletters, poster, material for exhibition, P.Point presentations, guidelines for commendations, data bases on contacts and good practice) • meetings (joint seminars, workshops, conferences) publication of good practice case studies from EU15, NMS and TC • study tours • hosting staff • “help desks”

  21. EXPECTED RESULTS • dissemination of good practice and methods from the EU15, NMS and candidate countries • improving the capacity of intermediate bodies (specialist energy networks of municipalities, regions, and agencies • strengthening the activities of the partners towards cities and urban stakeholders • practical involvement of urban areas / cities and towns in SF related projects

  22. EXPECTED IMPACTS • linking urban development and sustainable energy issues more strongly • influencing better use of SF at national, regional and local levels • creating and stimulating the reflex in different bodies and in cities to integrate energy issues as widely as possible in urban development

  23. FIVE COMPONENTS Component 1: Management and Co-ordination Component 2: Dissemination of information and promotion at both European and national levels Component 3: Exchanges of practical experiences   Component 4: Preparation of good practice cases studies Component 5: Information and advice to municipalities and relevant bodies at national scale

  24. COMPONENT 1Management and Co-ordination Strategic focus: Providing the partners with the administrative and financial organisation and the co-ordination of relevant activities which will facilitate the development and the reporting of the project in the best conditions. Planned results: Quality of technical and financial reports, prepared and sent in due time. Quality of management of the overall project allowing simultaneously friendly relationships and very rigorous implementation and reporting.

  25. COMPONENT 2Dissemination of information and promotion at both European and national levels Strategic focus: Ensuring a targeted dissemination of information towards municipalities, associations of local authorities, bodies in charge of SF programmes and management, essentially at national levels, as well as a high visibility of the project at both local and European levels. Planned results: Quality of means of communication (web sites, leaflets, newsletters). Utilisation by municipalities and other bodies of the information available in their own language. Making the RUSE-Project well known at national and European levels.

  26. COMPONENT 3Exchanges of practical experiences Strategic focus: Taking advantage of existing experience (practice, documents, guides, etc.) from municipalities, cities networks and energy agencies, which will form a network of expertise, through activities such as dissemination of good practice, study tours, exchange of staff. Planned results: Improvement of capacity building in intermediate bodies (cities networks, agencies) making them more aware of the opportunities for linking sustainable energy issues and regional development, and more able to provide suitable information to local authorities.

  27. COMPONENT 4Preparation of good practice cases studies Strategic focus: Using the experience gained by municipalities from all the NMS and Third Countries in order to increase the already existing background of good practice cases studies from the EU15. Planned results: Making local authorities more aware of the opportunities for projects in countries which shared a similar history and are facing similar problems, supplementing the information gained from the EU 15 municipalities.

  28. COMPONENT 5Information and advice to municipalities and relevant bodies at national scale Strategic focus: In order to go forward towards practical action at local level and not only disseminate information, the assistance service (help desk) will provide individual advice to municipalities, either through local meetings or direct advice on request. Planned results: Improvement of the capacity of local authorities in preparing and implementing which will integrate sustainable energy issues making them more aware to take advantage of existing funds (such as SF).

  29. CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES • RUSE Operation • has to be a very successful project • will have to be a model • high quality is required • (net)working together CONTACT www.ruse-europe.org (under construction) This document has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Commission (DG REGIO under the “Interreg IIIC West Zone” Community Programme / Contract reference RUSE, 2W0057N). The views expressed herein are those of Energie-Cités and its partners and can therefore in no way be taken to reflect the official opinion of the European Commission. The project will run until March 2007.

  30.
