The project “Multidimensional EU cooperation on transforming the EU energy market and tackling climate change”(EUCLIME) addresses the current conditions and future challenges facing the EU in transforming its energy market and tackling global climate change.
The EU's drive to reduce emissions and improve the energy security of EU Member States requires an energy transformation of the EU energy market. The project addresses the EU's capacity-including, inter alia, institutional and financial capacity-to achieve a zero-carbon transformation of the EU energy market. This is an extremely challenging task as it requires addressing key challenges, i.e. ensuring the competitiveness of the EU economy as well as secure and stable energy supplies to EU Member States, tackling global climate change, managing scarce natural resources and pursuing EU economic development, i.e. stimulating economic growth while caring for the environment.
Project objectives:
- to promote research and education on the transformation of the EU energy market and the fight against global climate change;
- to provide students with knowledge that will increase their awareness of the functioning of the EU, the EU energy market and environmental and climate protection;
- to foster a dialogue between academia, business and the public on the need to transform the EU Member States' energy sector and tackle global climate change.
Key project activities:
- Provision of classes on the project themes in courses that take place at both undergraduate and graduate level;
- Organise 3 open expert seminars and 6 workshops dedicated to the participants of the graduation seminars on the project topics;
- Publication of 3 scientific articles / 3 chapters in book publications as a direct result of the research, international seminars or expert meetings;
- Organise an international conference at the end of the project.
