The SmartEdge library contains all the communication activities carried by the project, including press releases and videos.

The main target of the project is to develop guidelines and principles for achieving low carbon economy policies in edge cities and to engage key target groups in different regions in mainstreaming the results in their policies and operations.

This communication strategy is designed to help the project communicate effectively in order to achieve its core objectives. It provides a useful roadmap for identifying who needs to be reached, and what they need to hear, to ensure the SmartEdge project is a success for all the partners.
