Workshops

 

Workshops are a vital part of the PAC project. They are how the project team reaches out to civil society, industry and technical experts to better understand what a Paris compatible energy scenario for Europe could look like. The workshops also act as an important forum for organisations working on energy and climate issues to exchange ideas and to grow our collective knowledge. The PAC project organises two different workshop series. If you are interested in participating in either one of them, please reach out to us via info@pac-scenarios.eu. Please note that workshop participation is upon invitation only.

Experts Workshops

Bringing together experts from the modelling community and stakeholders with a strong interest in modelling, each workshop focuses on a distinct challenge in modelling a future energy system and discusses how different stakeholders deal with new complexities in their work. These workshops occur under an invitation-only format.
