XIV INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC SYMPOSIUM: Achieving energy sustainability: new technological and institutional models – IEB
Date:February 03, 2026
Aula Magna - Edifici Històric de la UB
As the urgency of addressing climate change intensifies, achieving sustainability requires both technological breakthroughs and robust institutional frameworks. The global transition to a more sustainable model calls for innovative solutions that go beyond decarbonization, incorporating circular economy principles, digital transformation, and inclusive governance. In this context, it is essential to explore how emerging technologies and new institutional arrangements can reshape production, consumption, and energy systems in a sustainable way. Building on the spirit of previous editions, the Symposium will provide a forum for academic and policy-oriented dialogue. Authors are invited to submit empirical papers addressing policy-relevant issues related to oil, gas, or electricity sector.
