EVER 2014<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
From March 25th to 27th 2014, the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco will welcome one of the most important green events in Europe: \u2018EVER\u2019. Created in 2006, EVER aims to promote two key aspects of sustainable development: energy and mobility. <\/b>The first aim of “EVER 2014” is to promote the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency; the second is to promote cleaner mobility for private transport, using more powerful electric and hybrid vehicles. Like every year, the event will take place at the Grimaldi Forum* and is supported by the Prince’s Government, the Prince Albert II Foundation and the Monegasque Electricity and Gas Company.  In addition to themed scientific lectures, bringing together researchers, university staff, students and business heads, there will be workshops and round tables, which will be open to the public. The topics addressed will include energy transition and its impact, energy efficiency issues and future solutions for storing electricity. With regard to mobility, the increased use and the future of clean vehicles will <\/span>\"unnamedbe discussed.  As last year, there will be a “Ladies in Mobility” round table \u2013 this year, it will be devoted to electric mobility in “Smart Cities.”  A meeting of the Paris ecological vehicles club will also be held. EVER is a real melting pot for innovation and for raising awareness of good practice.  As usual, it will host the “Youth and Sustainable Development” meetings. This year, EVER 2014 will also offer a “Sustainable Village,” which will showcase renewable forms of energy, with uniform, functional stands that are conducive to professional meetings.  It will host the final of the METHA EUROPE 2014 competition, organised by the\u00c9coles des Mines<\/i>, on the theme of energy efficiency for transport and in the home. Finally, EVER will be an opportunity to display and test drive the automotive industry’s latest electric vehicles.
