On 24th March 2010, in the framework of the European Energy Week, Energie-Cités will organise a major conference aiming at discussing the most critical problems local authorities of new member states are facing as well as successful initiatives and solutions in implementing the EU objectives.

The goal is to accelerate the rythm of action in these countries, incl. the signatures of the Covenant of Mayors. Networking activities will be promoted. Local authorities and partners involved in the MODEL project will serve as a basis for discussion.

Furthermore the 2nd ’’MODEL award’’ will be handed over at this occasion thus promoting the most significant achievements of the MODEL pilot cities, bring a wide and international recognition to the winning city and at the same time enhance all NMS local authorities to go ahead and implement innovative initiatives in the field of sustainable energy.
