CERTH Represents MODERATOR at the Hearth Summit Athens 2024

CERTH (Centre for Research & Technology Hellas) represented MODERATOR at the HEARTH Summit Athens 2024, a key event focused on sustainable cities and innovative urban solutions. This year’s summit brought together researchers, innovators, and practitioners to exchange ideas on how cities can better manage resources and reduce environmental impact.

Eleni Papaioannou from CERTH showcased MODERATOR’s commitment to community-based energy solutions and sustainable practices that empower cities and citizens alike. Through presentations and discussions, the summit highlighted how technology and community action can come together to make cities more resilient and energy-efficient.

In this context, Impact Hub Athens organized the Hearth Summit for the first time in Greece, a significant initiative aimed at exploring and discussing prospects for sustainable living in both small and large cities. The summit took place from October 31 to November 1 at the Impact Hub Athens, a space transformed into a center for co-creation and innovation. The conference gathered 120 participants from various sectors, including government institutions, local authorities, businesses, universities, creative industries, and civil society. The goal was to explore Greece's prospects for transforming cities into sustainable living spaces.

The conference included a variety of activities such as workshops, discussions, debates, presentations, speeches, and Fireside Chats, with prominent speakers like Lorenzo Fioramonti, Pedro Tarak, Conchita Galdon, Torri Tsui, Paolo Di Cesare, and Dimitris Ptophos, sharing valuable insights and solutions for leveraging cities as labs for sustainability and social cohesion.

We extend our thanks to HEARTH Summit Athens for creating this collaborative platform to inspire change and foster sustainable development.
