The Lights on Women initiative at the Florence School of Regulation, in collaboration with partner Landwärme, is proud to welcome the winners of the LUCE Awards at the European University Institute. The ceremony will be held in Florence on May 16, 2023.
As key policies such as the Green Deal are set out worldwide to facilitate the transition towards carbon neutrality, they also might serve as a catalyst to move towards gender equality, empowerment, and justice.
In this context, the LUCE Awards are meant to further the just transition’s gender mainstreaming objectives while highlighting the contributions and achievements of women of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds working in energy, climate, and sustainability.
The LUCE Awards will give two prizes: Clara Poletti for Legacy Women, and Onyinye Anene-Nzelu for Emerging Talent.
Following the ceremony, a panel debate from the title 'Energy transition and sustainable development – leaving no woman behind?' will be moderated by Valerie Reif (FSR) and feature Anna Sobczak, (European Commission, currently EUI fellow); Marie Hyland (Eurofound); Carol Ofafa (African School of Regulation) and Ilaria Conti (FSR).
