Description

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) Working Group on "Understanding and Managing Industrial Transitions" is developing a methodological framework to gather evidence and operationalise insights from the study of transitions. The framework is being tested in four pilot reviews of industrial transition (Greece, Andalusia, Bulgaria, Romania). The reviews collect evidence and examine the scope for developing territorial responses that harness cross-portfolio complementarities (e.g. between ministries and levels of governance) and cross-stakeholder coordination (e.g. between businesses and broad constituencies of consumers/users). At the suggestion of the authorities, the reviews of Greece and Andalusia examine the renewable energy transition (and energy applications), whereas the reviews of Bulgaria and Romania examine the digitalisation transition.

The session aimed to inform participants about the policy challenge of managing industrial transitions, present the framework developed by the JRC Working Group (POINT - Projecting Opportunities for INdustrial Transitions) to collect evidence, present the findings of the four pilot reviews, and engage in a discussion with participants about the role of evidence in understanding and managing industrial transitions.
