Forschung Burgenland has been awarded the VCÖ Mobility Prize for Burgenland. The prize was awarded to the Car2Flex research project – Optimised Charging Management for a Company Fleet – which, by involving users, demonstrates how electric vehicles can actively contribute to the energy transition.
The Car2Flex project was carried out as part of the Green Energy Lab research initiative and funded by the Climate and Energy Fund.

How are energy communities evolving? What new models is the ELWG introducing, and which processes within the energy sector will be relevant in future?
The event ‘Further Training: Shared Energy Use’, organised by Forschung Burgenland in collaboration with the Coordination Office for Energy Communities and Energieberatung Burgenland, focuses on current developments, practical solutions and professional exchange.
