Continuing on the article published under the title “TRANSGEO project in Medjimurje County” and the various activities presented in the same, the TRANSGEO project is now in full motion. From May 2024 until the end of October 2024, Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd. (MENEA) carried out several activities, out of which the most worth mentioning are:

·       The presentation of the TRANSGEO project on the FEDARENE General Assembly on Cyprus (from the 25th to 27th June 2024) with special focus on the 8 pilot sites (especially Mihovljan and Savica located in Croatia)

·       Publishing the photo from the site visit organized within the Project Partner and Executive Board Meeting in Čakovec (Croatia) in the local newspaper (as part of a general article about Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd. (MENEA) and the project CEESEU-DIGIT)

·       Participation on the Project Partner and Executive Board Meeting in Vienna (Austria) with a site visit to the OMW Innovation & Technology Center in Gänserndorf.

Regarding the activities lead by Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd. (MENEA) itself, the Transnational Strategy for a sustainable development of the Central European regions for a better transition from fossil to geothermal energy use is slowly getting its shape, meaning that the introduction part and the first chapter are already written and presented to the consortium. Also, the feasibility studies for the pilot sites Mihovljan and Savica (an activity where Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd. (MENEA) is responsible for the socio-economic and legal analysis) are, currently, being prepared by the national partner UNIZG-RGNF.

The upcoming periods will be very challenging, as Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd. (MENEA) plans to develop the content for the Transnational Action Plan, organize internal meetings with the partners regarding the Transnational Strategy creation and finish the socio-economic and legal part of the feasibility studies for the pilot sites Mihovljan and Savica. In addition, to keep the communication and dissemination of the project ongoing, together with the rest of the consortium Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd. (MENEA) will organize several dissemination events for presentation of the upcoming deliverables (Transnational Action Plan, feasibility studies for the pilot sites Mihovljan and Savica), as well as present the Transnational Strategy to the relevant stakeholders (regional and local authorities, private companies, development and sectoral agencies, NGOs).
