On September 24, 2021, the Terryer Project Closing Seminar "Territorial Sustainability of the Low Carbon Energy Model, Territories and Renewable Energies" was held, after months of contacts, design and preparation of an integrative and multidisciplinary program. Experts and key actors participated in the seminar and shared their experiences and knowledge about the current national and European energy context, which is having clear consequences on society, the environment and the economy. Thanks to their interventions, an attempt will be made to understand and convey the challenges of an energy transition that, above all, must be fair, democratic and inclusive.

 

The effort and time that the speakers have dedicated is greatly appreciated. It is clear that without them the seminary would not have had such significance.
