ADMU (through the Ateneo School of Government) and its implementing partners aim to empower stakeholders to effectively respond to energy challenges and seize opportunities for sustainable production and consumption, particularly in managing the country’s transition to sustainable low-carbon energy.
The €3.8 million Clean Energy Living Laboratories project is one of the seven grants awarded under the EU's Access to Sustainable Energy Program (ASEP), which will run until 2021.
