Thanks to the great effort of the Spanish section of EUROSOLAR, the award winners will be honored in a celebratory event in Barcelona this year. The European Solar Prize will be handed out on Friday, 18 November 2016 in cooperation with the Spanish section of EUROSOLAR and Barcelona City Council in the historical buildings of 'Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau'.
The event will start with a guided tour to the sustainable buildings, showing the innovations in energy efficiency in the former hospital. In addition to the award presentation, an exciting framework program on the topics 'Policy and vision for an energy transition' and 'Moving towards energy democracy' will be presented by an international panel. Afterwards, a get-together allows award winners and guests to mingle and exchange ideas and information. English-Spanish simultaneous translation will be provided.
