DHC+ Platform’s activities are focused on four pillars contributing to the main goal of increasing awareness about district heating & cooling and generating funding for the sector:

The DHC+ Platform supports its members' successful involvement in EU-funded projects through regular updates, workshops and dedicated matchmaking events.

Through its knowledge hub, the platform aims at sharing the precious knowledge generated from EU projects to build expertise among the DHC community.

DHC+ Platform is also leading the development of education & training initiatives in district energy, such as our flagship International DHC+ Student Awards and International DHC+ Summer School.

Finally, the platform supports Euroheat & Power’s advocacy or district energy research & innovation in Europe by contributing to the work of ETIP SNET, RHC ETIP, Built4People Partnership, and other relevant platforms.

DHC+ Platform has been actively engaged in various initiatives aimed at fostering research & innovation within the district heating and cooling sector.
