The ELEVATE project (Empowering Women in Net-Zero Technologies for the Smart Electricity for Buildings (SEB) Sector - Bridging the Gap through Vocational Education and Training) aims to bridge the gender gap in net-zero technologies within the Smart Electricity for Buildings (SEB) sector by enhancing vocational education and training (VET) opportunities for women. It seeks to address the underrepresentation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields—especially in the renewable energy and smart electricity domains—by implementing targeted educational programs, mentorship initiatives, and awareness campaigns.
The project aligns with the European Green Deal, the Net Zero Industry Act, and the European Skills Agenda, which emphasize the need for a skilled workforce in net-zero technologies and the inclusion of women in these emerging fields.
