Our Chamber as Strategic Partner at the 5th HAEE ENERGY TRANSITION SYMPOSIUM “Global and Local Perspectives”

The 5th Energy Transition Symposium “Global and Local Perspectives” of the Hellenic Association for Energy Economics was successfully organised as a hybrid event from 30 September until 2 October 2020.

The Symposium focused on energy transition related features, such as decarbonization in Europe and Greece, the target model, hydrocarbons research in Eastern Mediterranean, natural gas infrastructures and market in SE Europe, ecomobility, hydrogen’s role and the impact of coronavirus pandemic in the energy sector. For yet another year, the Symposium constituted an international platform for promoting substantial dialogue around all pertinent energy issues.

20 dedicated sessions, more than 120 speakers, 20 academic paper presenters and over 8.000 viewers, composed the international, academic and specialized character of the Symposium, offering an in-depth analysis of the energy sector for physical and digital attendees.

Experts, senior executives, state officials and academics from institutions, organisations and enterprises from Greece and abroad had the chance to express their views and discuss all crucial issues of the energy sector, presenting a holistic overview of new developments, opportunities and challenges, both at local and international level.

HAEE’s President, Spiros Papaefthimiou, opened the Symposium highlighting that the coronavirus crisis, combined with the EU’s new initiatives for a green energy transition, could reach the sustainable development goals even faster. This development certainly consists of a challenge, but at the same time, it opens a window of opportunity for all energy related players, especially since new technologies and the boost of research are now in the game.
