2nd Workshop of the European Forum for Energy and Climate Transition (EFECT)

On March 31st the second workshop of the European Forum for Energy and Climate Transition (EFECT) takes place at NTNU in Trondheim, hosted by the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative. The European Forum for Energy and Climate Transition was established in 2021 and brings together European expertise in energy and climate modelling. The aim is to contribute to modelling exercises with the goal of better understanding the ground-breaking energy and climate transition in Europe. EFECT explores different pathways for the transition, taking into account its multiple dimensions, such as technological, environmental, economic, social, political, ethical, etc. By contributing to model development and enhancement of analysis tools at national, regional and European level, EFECT will provide support to European energy and climate policy analysis, as well as corporate decision making. Key features of EFECT are the focus on open and transparent modelling processes and the development of tools open for use by all stakeholders. This will facilitate increased interaction between modelers and stakeholder groups and contribute to a more robust energy and climate modelling capacity in Europe.
