Masterclass for Policyworkers

Welcome to your Masterclass for Policyworkers. Do you have good memory? Let's test it. Impress your mom.

Why is this an important year for EU energy policy making to integrate social sciences and humanities (SSH)?

There is a packed legislative pipeline, with the upcoming Fit for 55 package

Because social knowledge is being prioritised this year

What are the 3 key shifts that policy workers engaged in the Energy-SHIFTS project reported from their participation in the fellowship programme?

They better understood the energy system, pathways for decarbonisation and the stakeholders involved

They were able to go beyond business as usual thinking on policy, were more able to see complexity, and better evaluate issues of social justice throughout the energy transition

They had a better understanding of EU policy processes, how to get involved and research opportunities available

How did policy workers rank the importance of practical insights such as physical proximity of policymakers and contextual sensitivity?

Very important

Not as important as other aspects, such as financial compensation

How did policy workers rank the importance of practical insights such as social acceptance?

Very important

Not important only as an outcome, more important for there to be a good process under which policy making is conducted

Time is Up!
