Dear readers,
in this newsletter we would like to share our first RES-DHC project outcomes with you. Within the first project phase, the regional structures were established and first capacity building activities took place. All project outcomes are published on the new Know-How area at the RES-DHC website. Furthermore, there are also some international news beyond the RES-DHC model regions discussing relevant aspects for increasing RES in DHC.
Enjoy reading!
