Day 1: Plenary sessions
The agenda of this year’s conference of the Energy Modelling Platform includes on day one three plenary sessions to discuss the following key conference themes, through panels and with the audience:
- Innovation in the energy transition;
- Integrated modelling of energy and resource efficiency;
- Modelling of aspects of energy consumption behaviour.
Thanks to the active involvement of EC representatives, stakeholders from policy making and industry as well as leading researchers, we can ensure to bridge the gap between modelling research and policy making at European, regional and local level.
Day 2: Focus groups
On day two, you will have the possibility to participate in three out of nine parallel focus groups, dealing with specialized topics such as:
a) Infrastructure prerequisites – upcoming network challenges b) Energy, climate and macroeconomic relationships c) Technology learning d) Open energy system models e) Modelling of behavioural aspects f) Open databases g) Regional vs. national vs. Europe-wide modelling h) Energy modelling and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Conundrum i) Engaging with policy makers
Focus groups particularly emphasize group discussions and interactive exchange of experiences between the participants. Seven focus groups are set up and headed by researchers from either SET-Nav, MEDEAS, REFLEX or REEEM projects, while two focus groups slots are organized by external researchers from the modelling community.
