Conference in Brussels: Towards a Fair Green Transition – Harnessing Research & Innovation for Social Impact

As Europe advances toward climate neutrality, the green transition must be more than technological—it must be fair, inclusive, and socially resilient.

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
