MacSheep – Solar thermal + heat pump (2012-15) Project Focus Development of Solar and Heat Pump Heating Systems for domestic hot water (DHW) and space heat for single and double family homes Goal 25% electric savings compared to the „state of the art“ HDa benefit 3 month secondment of PhD student at partner Increased network PhD Switzerland Austria Sweden France Csech Republic Germany

SHINE Marie-Curie initial training network (2013-7) European research school in solar thermal 7 universities and 4 companies 13 PhD students 5 PhD level courses Continuation of courses after project HDa benefit Access to high quality and focussed PhD level courses New course material in bachelor and master programs PhD Increased network In the framework of the Marie Curie program of the European Union

iNSPiRe – renovation of residential and offices (2012-16) Development of Systemic Packages for Deep Energy Renovation of Residential and Tertiary Buildings including Envelope and Systems Very large project: 24 partners, 1115 person months Difficult to coordinate Several sub-subprojects with little inter-connection HDa benefit New material for courses PhD Collaboration with other national research projects (joint publications) Guest professorship Innsbruck

EnergyMatching – RE harvesting and use in districts (2017-21) 16 organisations 3 R&D, 2 housing companies, 8 technology companies, 2 other EURAC coordinator Budget ~6,9 M€ Building integrated PV with maximal use locally Development and demonstration Ludvika (SE), Florens (IT), Dieppe (FR) HDa benefit 3 disciplines – better internal collaboration! Guest lecturer and tool for master program “Local” partners in international project This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N°768766.

We have worked in very good consortia Experiences Large amount of work for writing applications and project administration Not easy as co-ordinator Not too bad as partner Greater competition in Horizon 2020 Lower success rate in the calls of interest for us We have worked in very good consortia Have worked with most before (IEA, EU,…) Good common understanding Different competences

Experiences (2) Possibility to improve or create new courses Guest lecturers Hosts for thesis projects Employers of our students Can involve several disciplines Relatively few involved Risk for low impact in group Most interaction with international master programs
