CEA, the Environmental Studies Centre located in Vitoria-Gasteiz and the Spanish partner in the Interreg Europe Intensify project, has created  a core Regional Stakeholder Group for the Intensify project. This core group consists of the Basque Energy Agency (EVE), the Basque Environmental Agency (IHOBE), Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council (environment and Public Space Dept.) and the CEA. Following a number of skype calls, the first meeting took place at EVE-IHOBE headquarters in Bilbao on the 24th January. The group members have climate change and sustainability as key objectives in their development plans and discussed how they could contribute to the Intensify project.
