Upcoming events

From Iron Fields to Energy Democracy

How do we create an energy transition that citizens can see themselves actively participating in?

That is the main question we will try to answer when MissionGreenFuels is hosting a dialogue event about citizen engagement, where research meets practice.

📅 Thursday, 2 October, 09:30–15:30
📍 Scandic Aarhus City, Østergade 10, 8000 Aarhus
🔗 Registration deadline: 17 September
✅ Sign up here

Professor Simon Lex and colleagues from the University of Copenhagen will present the results of two years of research on citizen participation, democratic ownership, and a just energy transition – based on more than 200 interviews. In addition, municipalities, civil society, and companies will share their experiences in shaping future energy solutions. The day will conclude with a joint workshop, transforming insights into new ideas for democratic engagement in the green transition.

Accelerating the green transition through the MissionGreenFuels and INNO-CCUS partnerships

Date: 17. januar 2023 – 9:30 – 17:00
Place: Anker Engelunds Vej 1 Bygning 101A, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby, Danmark

MissionGreenFuels and INNO-CCUS hereby invite you to a conference, where knowledge sharing and project- and consortia formation is central. The overall focus will be the realization of Pool 2 in MissionGreenFuels and INNO-CCUS. In addition, we will support the coordination with other funding possibilities in the national and international funding landscape. We are hosting the conference at DTU on January 17th, 2023, from 09:30-17:00.

The Pool 2 call for INNO-CCUS and MissionGreenFuels, where more than DKK 150 million will be allocated to innovative projects within GreenFuels and CCUS, is expected to be launched in early January 2023. During the conference, it will be possible to ask questions regarding the application process.

The conference provides an opportunity to discuss general and fundamental technological dilemmas or challenges between MissionGreenFuels and INNO-CCUS and mission-specific dilemmas or challenges. The conference will also provide insight to the innovational landscape and their current prioritization of key technologies relevant for MissionGreenFuels and INNO-CCUS. A summary of initiated projects within the two areas will be published after the conference.

Another purpose of the conference is to ensure a cumulative and continuous knowledge building and implementation of specific pathways dictating the development of the technological areas in MissionGreenFuels and INNO-CCUS. Therefore, there will be a unique chance for stakeholders to further develop, test, and create projects across actors. The conference offers an option to present challenges and cases sought to be solved by actors or the partnerships in structured and facilitated workshops.

The complete program can be found here. Practical information about travel and parking can be found here. The conference will feature relevant stakeholders and authorities, Innomission Partnership Board members, and other affiliated foundations and programs either as panel discussion members or presenters.
