Launch of the call for "programme" contributions !

From 28 to 30 January, the 21st edition of the European Energy Transition Conference – the annual appointment for the local and regional players committed to energy transition and adaptation to climate change – will be held in Bordeaux. As every year, the co-organizers of the event – Bordeaux Métropole, the Dunkirk Urban Community, Greater Geneva and ADEME, are launching a call for contributions in order to co-construct the edition’s general programme. Elected representatives, citizens, researchers, businesses or again technicians committed to local energy transition will have from 29 April to 12 July to submit their contribution projects on the website www.assises-energie.net, and thus make the event a veritable laboratory for sharing experience and ideas and seeking concrete solutions.

THE EUROPEAN ENERGY TRANSITION CONFERENCE:

THE ANNUAL HIGH SPOT FOR THE PLAYERS COMMITTED TO ENERGY TRANSITION

Launched in 1999 by the Dunkirk Urban Community, in partnership with ADEME, then co-organized by Bordeaux Métropole and Greater Geneva, the European Energy Transition Conference has become over the course of time the annual appointment for the local and regional players committed to energy transition. Intended to be right from the start an ideas laboratory and a concentrated mix of experience, the Energy Transition Conference is today a melting pot of inspiration for any area engaged in an energy transition initiative. Organized following on from governmental high spots and in particular the UN Climate Summits (COP), the Energy Transition Conference is the opportunity for governments and local players and their partners to collectively appropriate the new national and international issues, and above all share successful experience and concrete solutions for implementing energy transition locally. Every year the event brings together over 3 days, nearly 3000 participants around a programme of over 150 events – plenary sessions, workshops, site visits, the energy transition village or again the energy transition jobs forum.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE 2020 PROGRAMME?

Mobility, town planning, rurality, the circular economy, employment, new technologies, management of information systems, social innovations, cooperation or again planning… From 29 April until 12 July at 5 p.m., all the local and regional players committed to energy – elected representatives, citizens, businesses, researchers, university dons, industrialists, or again technicians are invited to submit their contribution proposals for the programme of workshops for the next edition on the website www.assises-energie.net. Among the workshop formats to choose from: « Inspiration » (experience sharing workshops), « Challenge » (co-creation workshops) or encore « Speed-dating » (idea sharing sessions for project owners).
