On Wednesday, 8 April 2026, from 9 to 11:30 h, the CERES project (Centers of Excellence for Resilient Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Solutions) will organise Side Event 1 within the framework of S-Access 2026, hosted by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB).

CERES is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg NEXT MED Programme and supports the development of innovation ecosystems and resilient entrepreneurship by promoting cooperation, capacity building and the uptake of sustainable solutions across the Mediterranean region.

The Side Event, entitled “Spotlight on Campus Zero Emissions – Knowledge Transfer for Energy and Digital Transition”, is designed as a technical and experiential activity that combines expert presentations with a guided visit to real-life demonstration facilities on the UIB campus.

Participants will be introduced to the Campus Zero Emissions initiative, a comprehensive approach to energy transition that integrates renewable energy generation, energy efficiency, energy storage, sustainable mobility and digital management of energy systems. The visit will showcase concrete solutions such as photovoltaic and solar thermal installations, district heating and cooling systems, large-scale battery storage, smart charging infrastructure and vehicle-to-grid applications.

The event will demonstrate how university campuses can act as living laboratories and Centers of Excellence, enabling experimentation, validation and transfer of innovative solutions to businesses, public authorities and other territories. This approach is fully aligned with the objectives of the CERES project, which seeks to accelerate sustainable and resilient development through knowledge transfer and cooperation.

The Side Event is open to participants registered for S-Access 2026, with places reserved during the conference registration process.
