Coordinated by the University of Vigo (Spain) and co-cordinated by the University of Fan S Noli i Korçë (Albania), "GreenTechWB" was designed with the aim of deploying the horizontal principles of the European Union for the economic & social development in Third-Countries through the cooperation in higher education, research & innovation and around the thematic area “GreenTech: Smart & Green Technologies for Innovative and Sustainable Societies in WB”. The partnership involved several Higher Education Institutions from EU and from Western Balkans countries. The consortium also included associated members from EU countries and from countries in the lot, which participated in three main tasks: Professional Training; Technology-Transfer; and Publicity & Quality Assurance. The contributions included in this book demonstrates the long experience and knowledge acquired. All together the chapters offer high quality information regarding environmental sustainability, energy-efficient computing, renewable energy sources, IT infrastructure, IT industries and marine resources, among other innovative issues. We are truly convinced that this project well improves the development of research and the transfer of that research in these fields.

The project was built up on a strategic partnership with one of the priorities working geographic areas for the EU, also in the new Erasmus+ programme. A major objective for the partnership has been to promote actions to support innovative societies as a prerequisite for a sustainable European integration. This action established a mobility network around Green Tech, which involved 7 European partners (Bulgary, Croatia, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Slovenia and Spain) on the one hand and 11 Western Balkans partners on the other hand. The Western Balkan Universities that participated were 2 from Albania, 3 from Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2 from Kosovo, 2 from Montenegro and 2 from Serbia. Our project trained students at all levels (57 undergraduate, 32 master, 21 doctorate, 14 post-doctorate) with a focus on the promotion of the research development and the transfer of that research with the collaboration of the associated members.
