CERVINO – presenting the project partners

Jan 24, 2023

To support the Alpine Region in becoming greener and smarter and to be at the forefront of the transition towards carbon neutrality and climate resilience within the EU, the CERVINO project develops an Alpine energy data platform. With the help of reliable macro regional energy data from the CERVINO platform, EUSALP members can define and implement their energy policies effectively. But who is behind CERVINO?
