This online event brings together experts to discuss research and innovation challenges and future priorities in the areas of clean energy and mobility. In the span of five years, since the adoption of the European Green Deal in late 2019, EU climate policy has undergone a major shift. The target is clear – climate neutrality by 2050. The steps needed to achieve this target are, despite their complexity, also relatively clear. However, the context in which the EU operates is rapidly changing. EU research and innovation (R&I) policy must therefore adapt, and quickly. The reflection paper ‘Addressing European Research and Innovation Challenges for System Transitions in Energy and Mobility’ provides a vision, recommendations and actions for how EU R&I policy in the areas of clean energy and mobility should go about adapting to the challenges the EU now faces. This event will explore the paper’s suggestions and consider how to best to translate them from lofty ambitions to real actions. Connect to the event via Research & Innovation Community Platform 

The event will see the launch of the independent expert report ‘Addressing European Research and Innovation Challenges for System Transitions in Energy and Mobility’. This reflection paper provides a vision, recommendations and actions for how EU R&I policy in the areas of clean energy and mobility should go about adapting to the challenges the EU now faces. The event will explore the paper’s suggestions and consider how to best to translate them from lofty ambitions to real actions. DG Research and Innovation (DG R&I) Deputy Director-General Joanna Drake will open the event. The report will then be presented by one of the co-authors of the report, Pierpaolo Cazzola (Co-Director, ITS-Davis European Transport and Energy Research Centre, University of California, Davis). This will be followed by a panel discussion, moderated by DG R&I ‘Clean Planet’ Director Rosalinde van der Vlies. Four high-level speakers will provide their views and thoughts on the paper, and present their thoughts on the challenges and possible future priorities for R&I in clean energy and mobility. The panellists are: Floor Alkemade (Full Professor and Chair of Economics and Governance of Technological Innovation at Eindhoven University of Technology; member of the Commission expert group on the Economic and Societal Impact of Research and Innovation [ESIR]) Frank W. Geels (Eddie Davies Professor of Sustainability Transitions, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester) (co-author of the reflection paper) Marc Lemaître (Director-General, DG R&I) Henriette Spyra (Director General Innovation & Technology, Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Mobility, Innovation & Technology) Please click on the event page for more information: Online event: Clean energy and mobility R&I: Shaping the future In order to attend the event, you will need to register for the research and innovation community platform.
