Following the call launched in April this year, 12 organizations have been selected to replicate the SIMPLA approach in their countries.

Overall, 24 applications were received from 18 countries. The 12 winning organizations have been selected by an international evaluation committee on the basis of five main criteria: their interest in becoming a replicating organization, their technical skills and competences, their previous collaborations with local authorities, and their experience in the development of energy or mobility plans.

Replicating organizations will attend SIMPLA 3-day final event (taking place in Trieste, Italy, on 26-28 November 2018) where world café sessions, role-playing and round tables will offer a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, experiences and success stories at European level on themes related to integrated, multi-sector energy and mobility planning with a perspective on the sustainable future of cities.
