On 20th June, R2D2 took part in the Sustainable Energy Days organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje. This event, held as part of the European Sustainable Energy Week 2024, served as a platform to highlight ongoing EU-funded projects related to energy and sustainability led by faculty staff.

The event sparked insightful discussions on pressing energy-related challenges, with a strong focus on how the climate crisis threatens critical infrastructure. Participants emphasized the urgent need for innovative solutions to protect and strengthen this infrastructure in the face of climate change.

One of the key takeaways was the need for a holistic approach that not only addresses rising climate risks but also fosters advancements in energy systems. This includes integrating more renewable energy sources (RES) and deploying innovative technologies for grid management. Furthermore, there was a call for supporting digitalization and enhancing the resilience of electricity grids to better withstand future challenges.

The discussions reinforced the importance of collaborative efforts across sectors to ensure a sustainable and secure energy future.
