RES
This European network examined, in selected areas, the status quo of the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in Portugal, Romania, Italy, Turkey, the Netherlands and Germany with regard to technology, labour markets and qualification requirements.
The potential uses of renewable energies were summarised in secondary analyses in order to use them as materials for the decentralised development of occupation-related teaching measures. In a cross-national questionnaire survey, the level of knowledge of pupils and students from VET institutions and technical grammar schools was compared in order to obtain a first overview of the integration of the topic into current teaching practice in the countries. The exchange of experience among the teachers and researchers involved in the project was summarised in a joint report on the state of educational efforts in this field. The project results were documented on the project website. Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission
