About event
The clean energy transition is gathering pace across Europe, opening new possibilities to connect national breakthroughs into cohesive, cross-border energy systems. The CETPartnership Annual Conference 2025 will explore the topic of system transition and how we translate opportunities into action—bringing research, policy and industry together to accelerate system transformation.
Join leading voices to discuss the latest insights, showcase cutting-edge projects and co-create the next steps for Europe’s clean energy future.
The conference will explore how CETPartnership can enhance its role in supporting this evolution—across technologies, regions, and policy frameworks. The discussions will reflect on how system transition is understood within the CETPartnership context, building on perspectives such as those outlined in the European Commission report “Addressing European Research and Innovation Challenges for System Transitions in Energy and Mobility.
