Symposium Overview and Objectives The Hellenic Association for Energy Economics is happy to announce that the 6th Energy Transition Symposium “Looking Ahead with Optimism, Beyond the Covid Era”, will be held from Tuesday, 28 September to Friday, 1 October 2021. For yet another year, the annual Symposium will serve as an open-dialogue platform, where state, academia and private sector representatives will contribute to debates and exchange of views on crucial energy matters. Considering the extraordinary circumstances of 2020, the 6th Symposium will inevitably focus on the turbulences caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and its prints on the global energy system. Despite the sharp decrease in global emissions last year, due to the recession of economic activities, enormous efforts are still required to reach the ambitious target of a net zero carbon economy. Governments need to take decisive actions and implement structural measures to accelerate the clean energy transition and pave the way towards a sustainable recovery. On top of that, renewable energy solutions can play a key role, providing a fast response to the pandemic and building more resilient energy systems. These issues, among many others, will be addressed in detail during the Symposium’s sessions. Call for Papers The HAEE Energy Transition Symposium is the premier forum for the presentation of new advances and research results in the energy sector. The conference provides the ideal opportunity for academicians, researchers, managers, industrial participants and students to share their research findings with global experts. We encourage all interested parties to join the Symposium and submit their original, high-quality research. The list of topics to be addressed includes, but is not limited to: Energy Transition - How can countries prepare for the new era of the global energy transition? Energy and Environment - Environmental laws and barriers for their enforcement Energy Efficiency & Sustainability in Buildings - Challenges, investment opportunities and technological innovations in the energy sector Renewable Energy Sources - Renewables’ penetration in the electricity mix Transportation and e-mobility - Electric vehicles and the future of green transportation Geopolitics of energy and implications for SE Europe - Regional energy supply and security Submission Procedure Authors should firstly create an account, give the basic details on their paper (title, key words, authors and paper presenter) and upload their initial contribution (abstract). Submitted abstracts should be no more than two pages in length, comprising i. overview, ii. methodological approach, iii. results, iv. discussion and conclusions.
