It started in December 2021 and will\u00a0receive a total of \u20ac4.6 million in funding over the next 3.5 years. As a so-called Innovation Action, the project has a particularly applied focus and implements its innovative solutions directly in practice: Approximately 7,000 citizens across five locations in Denmark, England, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain, will\u00a0join forces to become \u2018Near-zero emission\u2019 citizens. As \u2018citizen scientists\u2019, these communities will also\u00a0crowd-fund photovoltaic facilities locally to produce a total of ca. 1 megawatt of renewable energy. A mobile app\u00a0\u2013\u00a0also to be developed as part of the project\u00a0\u2013\u00a0will allow participants to monitor their own behavioural patterns of heating and cooling, transport and use of electricity. In return, they will receive tailored suggestions on how they can lower their energy demand and reduce their costs. Approaches like these are meant to engage particularly younger generations and empower them to become agents of change beyond the project itself. Through workshops and hands-on activities, the project will encourage citizens to change their behaviour and attitudes towards energy.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">The four locations in continental Europe will be established around university campuses as hubs for social innovation; a fifth demonstrator will be established in one of England\u2019s economically most deprived regions,\u00a0where the authorities\u00a0declared a state of \u2018Climate Emergency\u2019 in December 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">The AURORA project consortium comprises nine institutions from six countries.

Three quarters of these emissions are a direct result of how people produce and consume energy. The AURORA project will allow citizens to play an active role in transforming this sector by giving them the tools to achieve these ambitions. The project will enable citizens to become both a producer and consumer of energy (\u2018prosumer\u2019). It is going to foster local energy communities, powered by leading-edge photovoltaic technology, and thereby aims to transform the energy system at large, to make it more transparent, fair and sustainable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ee01fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7ee01fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Project Consortium<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d79eebc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d79eebc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>Technical University of Madrid, Spain (Project Coordinator)<\/li>\n<li>Aarhus University, Denmark<\/li>\n<li>Centre for Sustainable Energy, United Kingdom<\/li>\n<li>Forest of Dean District Council, United Kingdom<\/li>\n<li>Institute for Science &amp;
