As part of ‘the Eye of Europe’ Horizon Europe Project, Insight Foresight Institute organises an in-person stakeholder workshop on ‘Geopolitical & industrial decarbonisation scenarios to identify R&I opportunities for the EU’ on 10-11 April 2025 in Madrid, Spain. This workshop will gather experts specialised in different areas related to circular economy, decarbonisation, sustainability, innovation, geopolitics etc.
The workshop wil consist of debating around a primary issue on the EU’s agenda: how to navigate geopolitical issues to keep decarbonising the continent towards sustainable and competitive sectors.
For that matter, strategic alliances, resistant supply chains, and proactive management in global trade and diplomacy are needed. Several issues have been identified, which can be clustered in four themes:
- Geopolitical and Regional Alliances (relation with the EU)
- Industrial Competitiveness
- Energy Security and Supply
- Supply Chains (Raw Materials)
- Supply Chains (Manufacturing)
Participants are invited to attend this two day workshops starting with introductory presentations. Once participants will be a put into context, the common scenario work will begin. An interactive session will be held in the plenary and then in small groups. The second day, the key visions shared teh day before will be gathered and an introduction will be made to roadmapping on R&I needs and emerging areas. Roadmapping on specific themes for emerging R&I will be discussed in small groups. The findings will be shared in the plenary.
