On the 13th and 14th of July EPC participated in the 2nd in-presence partner meeting of the Life SKEMA project, hosted by our partner OFICINA at their campus. During these 2 days partners worked together in thematic groups to elaborate current ideas and next steps for developing the qualification frameworks for the HVAC, BACS and
The fires that hit several tourist destinations during the month of June 2026 have once again brought to light emergency management in tourism, a crucial theme for the sector’s ability to prevent and manage environmental and climate risks. From the fire in Montagna Grande, in the Trapani area, which involved canadairs, helicopters, and firefighters working
In recent years, the term hackathon has become increasingly popular in the context of innovation, education, and collaborative design. Originally developed in the IT sector as a programming marathon, this format is now successfully used in many different fields. Hackathons are used in regional development, sustainability, entrepreneurship, public administration, research, and, increasingly, within European Union-funded
Life SKEMA is at the heart of EPC’s participation in the 17th BUILD UP Skills European Exchange Meeting, dedicated to skills and training for the green and digital transition of buildings in Europe. Buildings account for approximately 40% of the European Union’s energy consumption and 36% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving Europe’s climate and
Drone surveys in remote areas represent a key solution for the analysis of isolated territories and complex mountainous areas. The often rugged morphology of the terrain introduces highly critical elements that slow down operational effectiveness and increase exposure to hazards. The limits of traditional surveys in mountainous and isolated territories Conducting technical activities in remote
The LIFE 2026 Programme is the European Union’s main financial instrument dedicated to the environment, climate action, and the energy transition. Active since 1992, LIFE finances concrete projects capable of generating measurable impacts on the local environment, supporting the implementation of European policies on biodiversity, the circular economy, climate adaptation, and clean energy. For the
Remote sensing and emergency management technologies are now a strategic tool for addressing emergencies more effectively. In recent years, the increase in extreme weather events, landslides, and floods has severely tested Italy, affecting critical infrastructure and population centers. In crisis situations, rapid response is essential, but it must be supported by reliable information and maximum
EPC srl, as coordinator of the Erasmus+ EcoMystery project (Interactive Escape Rooms for Climate Crisis Awareness and Civic Engagement in School Education), proudly announces the completion of two strategic pillars: the drafting of the Needs Discovery Report and the publication of the Policy Recommendation Booklet. These two goals constitute the true methodological framework upon which
The work carrieding out for the TO CARE MED project highlights how, within the landscape of transnational cooperation, the ability to communicate the impact of project results has become a fundamental tool for the success of such initiatives. European Union-funded programs, such as Interreg Euro-MED, require not only transparency and technical precision but also the
Topographic surveys of water networks are essential technical activities for mapping and managing drainage infrastructure within industrial plants and production complexes. Thanks to the acquisition of precise geometric and altimetric data, these operations support risk prevention, proactive maintenance, and insurance assessments. What are industrial networks? Industrial hydraulic networks are complex systems designed for the collection,
When it comes to sustainability, freshwater is one of the most valuable natural resources to protect. The water footprint is an indicator that helps us understand how much of this resource is used not only through direct household activities, such as showering, washing and cooking, but also indirectly through the production of food, products and
Life SKEMA “Skill Ecosystem, Market-driven learning and Advanced training for green and smart installers” – co-funded by the LIFE Programme – officially started this autumn with the aim of updating and innovating the skills of installers working in energy system manufacturing and building renovation sectors. Coordinated by ENAIP – Ente Nazionale Acli Istruzione Professionale Impresa
One month ago, the second transnational meeting of the EcoMystery project took place in Kavala, Greece, hosted by Bluechain Research Cooperative and Social Nebula. For the EPC – European Project Consulting team, as project coordinator, the meeting represented an important milestone for advancing activities and strengthening cooperation within the European consortium. Over the two days
Hackathons are collaborative and intensive events, usually lasting one or more days, during which people with different backgrounds — developers, students, researchers, communication experts, public administrators, and engaged citizens — come together to work on a concrete challenge.The term comes from the combination of “hack” (meaning to find creative solutions) and “marathon” (a long and
Technological innovation applied to drone-based multispectral surveying opens up new opportunities for territorial analysis, monitoring and management. This methodology makes it possible to acquire detailed and highly informative data, going beyond simple visual observation and identifying features that cannot be detected by the human eye. Among the most advanced solutions currently available, multispectral cameras represent
The beginning of autumn is always a particularly busy period in the world of European projects, filled with meeting and coordination activities. This year was no exception. At EPC, we are always pleased when these occasions take us across Italy and Europe, giving us the opportunity to meet our partners, clients and professionals from a
