Innovation pathways, strategies and policies for the low-carbon transition in Europe

• Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies
• FSR: Florence School of Regulation Energy & Climate

The transition to climate neutrality in Europe will require deep structural changes to the full range of energy, economic and societal systems. These changes, and their economic, social and environmental implications, must be examined and understood if policymakers are to take the best decisions possible to achieve this overarching objective.

The INNOPATHS final conference Innovation pathways, strategies and policies for the low-carbon transition in Europe is scheduled on Monday 31st May (10:00-16:15 CEST) and Tuesday 1st June (10:15-16:15 CEST).

The INNOPATHS final conference will hold presentations and discussions on following topics:

• Technology development and innovation dynamics; their policy and other drivers, and co-benefits
• Decarbonisation and equity, with a focus on European labour markets and the broader social implications of the transition
• Financing the transition; including the role of public funds, low interest rates and the European Green Deal
• Key requirements and implications of our new pathways for a low-carbon Europe; and the differences implied depending on which pathway emerges from policy action and wider developments
• Policy priorities and knowledge gaps; including a panel session with a series of European policy experts and practitioners, to conclude the conference.

Programme will be made available soon on the FSR website.

The project INNOPATHS has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. 730403.
