| Abstract |
The context in which the research called in this paper was made was strongly connected to the European and Romanian context of restructuring the energy sector: leaving the conventional and CO2 emitting energy production, using the renewable energy systems and advanced information and communication technologies issues, respecting the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) dimensions. Based on the experience of the authors in research and education, the paper tries to promote good practices in non-formal educational activities, emphasizing on the results gained with teachers and students from Dambovita and Prahova Counties, through hands-on activities undertaken with solar and wind demonstrative kits, having as final results an innovative stand entitled: the "Intelligent Green House". Aspects related to the promoting of sustainable energy - in the frame of a big event: the European Researcher's Night, organized in Kiel, Germany - are illustrated, where the innovative stand was opened to visitors. More, students' reflections regarding the sustainable energy are underlined, together with the introducing of RRI in specific applications related to the electric/green car mobility, which is part of the stand. All the results were recorded having the support of the European FP7 project called: "IRRESISTIBLE - Including Responsible Research and Innovation in Cutting Edge Science and Inquiry-based Science Education to Improve Teacher's Ability of Bridging Learning Environments" that offered a proper frame for such demarches.
