Project Consortium.
Knowledge and expertise to make a difference.
Project partners consisting of organisations with diverse expertise form the backbone of the STEP-IN transnational, multidisciplinary network. The partners cooperate to achieve the project objectives, sharing experience and know-how to develop results with complementary skills. STEP-IN brings together partners with different backgrounds and from different European regions, representing a variety of different forms of energy poverty and approaches to tackle it.
This consortium provides a broad and complementary coverage of the needed capabilities, the geographic balance, and strategic motivation to succeed. A long history of previous collaboration provides the basis for an effective implementation of the project.
The partners are committed to bring their knowledge and expertise to the project to really make a difference in the lives of those in need.
