SUMMARY:Conference in Brussels: Towards a Fair Green Transition  - Harnessing Research & Innovation for Social Impact
DESCRIPTION:As Europe advances toward climate neutrality\, the green transition must be more than technological—it must be fair\, inclusive\, and socially resilient. This conference explores how research and innovation (R&I)\, especially from the social sciences and humanities\, can drive societal transformation and shape policies that reduce inequalities and support long-term resilience. Through expert panels\, scientific dialogue\, and participatory exchange\, the event will spotlight how R&I can help align environmental goals with social justice. It will take place on 17 June 2025\, from 11:00 to 17:00\, at the NCBR Office in Brussels\, Belgium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference rationale \n\n\n\nThe green and fair transition\, as defined by the European Union\, marks a transformative shift toward a climate-neutral economy that is socially just and inclusive. This approach ensures that no person or region is left behind\, as outlined in the European Green Deal and the European Pillar of Social Rights. \n\n\n\nIt seeks to combine environmental sustainability with social equity by supporting vulnerable groups\, promoting quality employment\, and fostering inclusive growth. \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, societies across Europe and beyond are experiencing profound social transformations\, driven by a complex interplay of global and regional forces such as climate change\, digitalization\, demographic shifts\, and economic uncertainty. These shifts highlight the urgent need to build resilient societies—those capable of adapting to change and withstanding crises\, while maintaining social cohesion\, inclusivity\, and fairness. \n\n\n\nIn such a context\, research and innovation (R&I) must rise to the occasion. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary efforts\, not only in terms of frontier research and breakthrough technologies but also in generating deep societal insights and policy-relevant knowledge. R&I has a pivotal role to play in guiding social transformations\, enhancing resilience\, and ensuring that the green transition delivers on its promise of a fairer\, more inclusive future for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference objectives \n\n\n\nOrganised in synergy with the candidate European Partnership for Social Transformations and Resilience (STR) under Horizon Europe\, the conference will highlight how R&I can: \n\n\n\nSupport fair and inclusive green transition policiesEnhance Europe’s societal resilience and competitivenessPromote social cohesion\, reduce inequalities\, and foster sustainable growth\n\n\n\nThrough expert panels\, scientific debates\, and participatory dialogues\, this event will contribute to shaping strategies that ensure the green transition delivers tangible benefits for all Europeans. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegistration open now HERE. Stay tuned for more details! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference sessions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:10 – 12:00 Session I: Framing the Green Future – just transitions start with SSH \n\n\n\nThis opening panel will explore the critical importance of embedding Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in research and innovation (R&I) to effectively tackle Europe’s grand societal challenges.
