Abstract
The report summarizes the process of involvement of local companies (in the Province of Bolzano and Innsbruck) for the definition of a cross-border CoCe (Competence Center). As a summary document of a path based on meetings and dedicated events, this Milestone has to be considered as the only output including Milestones M2.2, M2.3, M2.4 and M3.1 For any more detailed information, please refer to direct contact with Eurac Research, Institute for Renewable Energy. Among its various objectives, the Interreg FACEcamp project aimed to create a cross-border Competence Center (CoCe) on the topic of “advanced facades”. The CoCe aims to be an effective meeting point between the different stakeholders in the world of facades, acting as a driving force for the sector, strengthening cross-border cooperation between companies and R&I centers, towards the construction of comfortable and energy-efficient buildings. The organization of a series of workshops on the CoCe setting up has been needed to raising awareness and to stimulate the local stakeholders on the building façade topic, on the mapping of skills and the collection of needs. The first two workshops on the topic of Competence Center aimed to collect, on the one hand, the professional needs on the facades theme and, on the other, the first feedback on the interest and relevance of the presence of a Competence Center. In the final workshop, the project partners concentrated on presenting the Center's design and structuring work on the basis of the feedback received from the various players in the supply chain, as well as their willingness to participate.
