IFGRA workshops
IFGRA workshops are compact seminars including lectures by experts, case studies presentations by the participants and site visits. These workshops aim at gathering IFGRA members and their personal experience on various themes. These meetings are meant to generate a maximum of interactions between all participants towards the set-up and the implementation of concrete projects.
IFGRA workshops answer to the main objectives of the IFGRA. By bringing members together they favour the exchange of information; they promote best practices and help communicate methodologies and technologies. Finally, by inviting experts, they provide support and assistance for the final set-up of concrete projects.
Workshop themes
All public authorities in charge of a community face challenges in the fields of waste and water management as well as energy supply (of renewable origin more specifically). These topics imply complex systems that are not easy to implement and that vary a lot with the local conditions.
Waste management, water management and renewable energies thus represent the ideal grounds for practice sharing among IFGRA members as everyone has some experience to communicate.
Workshop organisation
Each thematic workshop (waste, water or energies) is divided into three modules of increasing specialisation, towards a greater independence of the participant: each module does thus address participants with different profiles. As a result, an application procedure may take place in order to be sure that participants possess the necessary theoretical and/or practical background to make the most out of the module.
