EMERGE EU Project

The EMERGE project seeks to provide African policymakers, academics, investors, and citizens with the tools and knowledge required to increase the production of clean energy and the sustainable use of resources while bridging cultural and socioeconomic divides. In order to simulate scenarios that optimize the use of current resources while taking into account social, climatic, economic, and technical constraints, EMERGE will co-design and test a Toolbox by integrating and building upon existing tools, methodologies, and approaches. Additionally, a Knowledge Base with a collection of initiatives, materials, and knowledge-exchange activities will be created. The North Western Africa (Morocco), Niger River region (Mali/Nigeria), and East Africa (Mozambique) are three African ecosystems where EMERGE will develop knowledge communities through a participatory approach. The EMERGE consortium is composed of 11 partner organisations from 9 countries across Europe and Africa: ▪️ University of Zagreb – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, Croatia (coordinator); ▪️ Brain Information Technologies, Croatia; ▪️ ESEIA, Austria; ▪️ EnGreen Srl, Italy; ▪️ Fundación CARTIF, Spain; ▪️ Fundación CIRCE, Spain; ▪️ Artelys, France; ▪️ Ecowas Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, Cape Verde; ▪️ Universite Mohammed Premier 1, Morocco; ▪️ Universidade Eduardo Mondlane, Mozambique; ▪️ African Technology Innovation Hubs, Nigeria. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme, under Grant Agreement n° 101118278.
