ESCP Business School and its Energy Management Centre (EMC) participated as Knowledge Partners at the 3rd HAEE Energy Conference organised by the Hellenic Association for Energy Economics (HAEE) on 3 - 5 May 2018 in Athens, Greece.
Which are the energy revolutions of the 21st century? Which are the geopolitics of energy? Can we foresee the future of green transportation? How can the energy storage be assured? Will renewables increase their share in the immediate future? Will the new "EU winter package" become a new successful energy policy for the Europeans?
Answers to these and many other questions were addressed during the academic and industry oriented sessions of the Conference. Athens is ideal for this conference as it is strategically located, allowing it to have an important role for conventional and renewable energy related policies in this era. In addition, Athens is the ideal location for the Conference as it combines unique ancient monuments, museums and scenery, all these in a modern and vivid city in the Mediterranean shores with lots of social and cultural activities. Thus the Conference provided a unique opportunity exchange of academic knowledge, for networking and enhancing communication amongst all participants.
