Working Group Understanding and Managing Industrial Transitions: Findings of Reviews of Industrial Transition & Launch of Support Coalitions 14-15 July 2020 – ONLINE MEETING (all times CET)
- 14 Jul 2020 to 15 Jul 2020
The 3rd Working Group meeting is held virtually and will feature the findings and recommendations of the JRC Industrial Transition Reviews of Andalusia, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. The reviews focus on an industrial theme of growing global importance suggested by the relevant government authorities, collect evidence from key stakeholders in the country and from broader international experiences and relevant literature, and support the development of adequate territorial responses that harness cross-portfolio complementarities and cross-stakeholder coordination. All four reviews currently under way examine industrial themes at the heart of the European Green Deal, including the transition to renewable energy and sustainable transport (Andalusia, Greece) and the productive transformations necessary, and brought forward by, digitalisation (Bulgaria, Romania).

Introduction to Parallel Sessions “Topical Support Coalitions”
To make the most of the opportunities presented by virtual meetings, we initiated a discussion with a broader group of interested researchers and practitioners through a first series of exploratory discussions on topical support coalitions. The aim was to provide a regular space for discussion, learning and coordination that can prepare the ground for possible joint actions among participants. The objectives of the support coalitions were in the first instance to: · learn from relevant work done by WG participants · link up to vanguard work outside the WG · enhance collective understanding of critical topics · receive constructive feedback and provide opportunities for coordination The conclusions of each session will inform the Working Group’s Synthesis Report (postponed to the end of 2020). |

Description
The 3rd Working Group meeting was held virtually and featured the findings and recommendations of the JRC Industrial Transition Reviews of Andalusia, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. The reviews focus on an industrial theme of growing global importance suggested by the relevant government authorities, collect evidence from key stakeholders in the country and from broader international experiences and relevant literature, and support the development of adequate territorial responses that harness cross-portfolio complementarities and cross-stakeholder coordination. All four reviews currently under way examine industrial themes at the heart of the European Green Deal, including the transition to renewable energy and sustainable transport (Andalusia, Greece) and the productive transformations necessary, and brought forward by, digitalisation (Bulgaria, Romania). The JRC Industrial Transition Reviews follow the common POINT (Projecting Opportunities for INdustrial Transition) methodology developed by the JRC in collaboration with the Working Group. The JRC Technical Report documenting the POINT methodology, enriched by the experience with the reviews so far, is available here.
In striving to make the most of the opportunities presented by virtual meetings, we initiated a discussion with a broader group of interested researchers and practitioners through a first series of exploratory discussions on topical support coalitions. The topics covered in this first set of parallel discussions included measuring and modelling transitions, industrial policy, grassroots innovation and alliance construction, public sector and regulatory innovation for transitions, governing transitions. The aim was to provide a regular space for discussion, learning and coordination that can prepare the ground for possible joint actions among participants. The objectives of the support coalitions were in the first instance to:
- learn from relevant work done by WG participants
- link up to vanguard work outside the WG
- receive constructive feedback and provide opportunities for coordination
- enhance collective understanding of critical topics
