Three o'clock

Building bridges and bringing people together is one of the best ways to design better, more #SustainableCities ✅ But how do we ensure that the solutions we create are truly effective? 🤔 👉 Last week, Olga Glumac, Ph.D. and Nicole Ramírez led a #ParticipatoryDesign workshop at the Universidade de Coimbra as part of their #SustainabilityDays. During the workshop, they collaborated with local stakeholders like Cleanwatts, Instituto Pedro Nunes, and INESC Coimbra to co-create solutions for the city’s energy needs. This hands-on approach brought together participants from the municipality, industry, and partners from several countries, generating ideas grounded in real-world problems. 👉 This week, in Sweden, they facilitated an industry-academia meeting that included a panel on district heating—a critical issue as cities move toward more sustainable energy systems. Through group discussions, participants explored how cross-sector collaboration can drive such changes in cities. Later, they led a #ClimateSprint with Halmstad University students, digging into the science of #ClimateChange and setting personal action plans to reduce carbon footprints. Both of these workshops are part of the RES4CITY project, which is addressing the growing skills gap in the renewable energy sector. ☝️Why is this important? Because as demand for green energy solutions grows, so does the need for skilled professionals to implement them. As a partner, Three o'clock designed the co-creation framework implemented in this project, encouraging collaboration between industry, academia, and public institutions to equip people with the skills needed to support effective energy changes in urban areas across Europe. -------------------------------------------- 🟣 We are Three o'clock: we bring #ResearchAndInnovation closer to people.

If you're planning a round-trip flight from Madrid to New York ✈️, well, let's just say that's about the carbon footprint you should have for an entire year 😱 Next week, Esti Sanvicente and Carla Barceló Sàbat will be raising awareness about #ClimateChange and our individual #CarbonFootprint with 30 teens aged 13 to 18 in Jaca, Spain, as part of our #NextGenCarbon project we're leading with Idílica Innovación. What's planned on the agenda? 👉 Interactive Workshop: To help teens understand the science behind climate change, we'll be conducting a #ClimateFresk workshop. 👉 Carbon Footprint Calculator: They'll be testing the calculator we developed to measure their individual environmental impact in a fun and engaging way. 👉 Action Plan: The teens will reflect on their footprint and come up with ways to reduce it every day. Small actions can make a big impact. Want to know more?

How many times do you eat meat each week? How many shirts do you buy each month? Do you bike to work? 🤔 All these daily choices have an impact on our planet 🌍   We all know that #ClimateChange is already happening, with Europe facing unprecedented heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, and we believe the younger generation is the key to turning the tide 🌊   That's why we've launched an EU-funded initiative #NextGenCarbon with Idílica Innovación targeting 13-18 year olds, designed to show them how their everyday actions can make a real difference. Here's what we're doing 👇   👉 Interactive Workshops 👩🏫 We're running learning sessions in schools that help teens understand their carbon footprint and learn practical ways to reduce it.   👉 Carbon Footprint Calculator 👣 We've developed an easy-to-use online tool that gives personalised insights into individual environmental impact.   It isn't just about awareness - it's about action.   Want to know more?

Summer holidays or when ‘work-life balance’ really means balancing a laptop on your knees while making sandcastles 🏖️ We made it! The summer holidays are finally behind us, and all of us #WorkingParents deserve a huge Margarita 🍸 With schools closed for up to 10 weeks and a lack of camps for kids or childcare, balancing work and family becomes a huge task. It’s no wonder that 75% of working parents report feeling more stressed during this period. That’s why we’re big on flexibility at Three o'clock during the summer. Connection times and longer lunches or breaks are open to make sure everyone can stay on top of work and family, without dropping the ball on either, and still stay productive. So cheers to the return of routine (and maybe a little bit of peace and quiet). Welcome back to work! 🎉 Olga Glumac, Ph.D. Esti Sanvicente Evdokia Bairampa Nicole Ramírez Chloe C.
