Future Energy Systems
An emission free energy system in 2050 is the ambition of Europe. In order to reach this goal, a high degree of renewable energy is essential. Active consumers, integration between energy markets and flexibility in the production of energy in Europe are key components in this transition. This track focus on the interplay between technology, system, market and individuals.

Well Below 2 Degrees!
To what extent are Norway and the rest of the world on their way changing the direction necessary to meet the commonly shared goal of well below 2°C? This track discuss discrepancies between ambitions and action. Different perspectives, measures and means to reduce greenhouse gases in both Norway and the world in general are presented. What financial and political steps are necessary?

Socio-technical energy transitions
As energy- and transport systems across the world are expected to change in a more sustainable direction, society is also transformed. Thus, the politics of energy transitions are also related to culture, practices, innovation and everyday life. It is therefore important to explore how diverse actor collectives participate in the transition, how unexpected realms of life are affected by transition activities, as well as which new opportunities these dynamics create for commercial activity and business.
