Welcome to the CETPartnership Annual Conference 2025!
The CETPartnership Annual Conference 2025 will focus on the topic of system transition. As the clean energy transition accelerates, there is a growing opportunity to further strengthen the integration of national efforts into coordinated, cross-border system approaches. 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”.
