Following the successful launch of the SKILLS4HP cluster in May 2026<\/strong>, the five partner projects\u2014 KnowHowHP<\/strong>,HeatCraftHP, Re-Energize, SKILLSAFE EU, and install.res<\/strong> \u2014are coming together for a second joint webinar. This time, the focus is no longer on what has been developed<\/em>, but rather on what actually works in practice<\/em>. <\/p>

The expansion of heat pumps in Europe is increasingly focused on practical implementation. Training programs, digital tools, and safety guidelines only deliver their full benefits when they address existing skill gaps and contribute to faster, safer, and higher-quality installations. The focus is on concrete insights, necessary adjustments, and transferable experiences. Click here to register.<\/a><\/p>
