In January, the University of Economics in Katowice is launching the annual pilot program of the European research project Eco-Bot – a personalized virtual energy assistant.

The goal of the Eco-Bot project is to create a personalized virtual energy assistant that will help consumers in daily energy management, which will translate into increased efficiency of its use.

The project is implemented by a consortium of organizations from Greece, Spain, Germany, Great Britain and Poland under the Horizon 2020 program in 2017-2020 and co-financed by the European Commission with the amount of nearly EUR 2 million.

The full title of the project is: “Personalized ICT-tools for the Active Engagement of Consumers Towards Sustainable Energy Eco-Bot”. After its completion, Eco-Bot will become the property of the consortium and then it will be decided whether and how to commercialize it.
