As promised we now continue with the introductions of each of our project partners. Let´s go on with our partner city Stoke-on-Trent as the last PLEEC project meetings have been hosted there.
Here is a story about a beautiful city on a beautiful island…
PLEEC
partner city Stoke-on-Trent is a confederation city of six diverse and distinct
towns with a population around 250,000 inhabitants. The City is known as the
Potteries and the World Capital of Ceramics thanks to its magnificent ceramic
heritage built in the coal extraction and steel manufacturing. Moreover, key
sectors include advanced manufacturing, building technologies, business and
professional services, ceramics innovation, medical and healthcare as well as
retails and tourism. More than 30.000 students study in the two local
universities of Keele and Staffordshire in the field of medicine and
healthcare, science and engineering and computing. 
Being one of the six PLEEC partner cities, Stoke-on-Trent is on the right track to become an energy –efficient smart city – by increasing the use of renewable energy, reducing energy demand and raising energy efficiency.
