Other Workshops

The Universitat Rovira i Virgili and the Basque Centre for Climate Change have joined together to organize the Workshop on Economics of Energy Efficiency, which will be held in Reus (Spain) on 12 and 13 December 2013 and which will give participants the opportunity to learn more about the principal research outputs relating to this topic. The workshop is intended to provide a forum where researchers can debate and discuss all of the various micro and macroeconomic approaches that are currently being applied to the economics of energy efficiency. The workshop’s keynote speakers will be some of the most prominent international researchers working in this field.

El próximo jueves 29 de mayo se celebrará en las instalaciones de Vicomtech-IK4 el Workshop “Experiencias, Colaboraciones y Retos en Medio Ambiente y Biodiversidad 2020” en el marco del proyecto MONNA (http://www.monna-project.eu/) en la que participara la investigadora de BC3, Elena Pérez de Miñana.

El evento comenzará a las 10h y, en el transcurso de la mañana, contará con las intervenciones de ponentes de gran prestigio en el ámbito de la biodiversidad y el medio ambiente, además de la presentación del proyecto MONNA.

The LiveM Livestock Modelling and Research Colloquium, will be hosted by the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) from the 14-16th October in Bilbao .www.livem2014bilbao.com

The LiveM theme of the FACCE-JPI MACSUR Knowledge Hub brings together 30 institutes from 14 European countries with expertise in a diverse range of disciplines, from grassland and farm-scale modelling through to livestock disease and health research.

BC3 co-organizes Workshop Cecilia 2050 Workshop

The CECILIA2050 research project is entering its last and third year and is preparing to focus on its ultimate goal of formulating near-term and medium-term policy recommendations: how could andshould the EU climate policy mix evolve to put the EU on track towards a low-carbon economy? What is the role for economic instruments (carbon pricing) in the policy mix, and for which decisions areplanning tools necessary? How should climate and energy policy should interact? It is one thing to analyse which policies appear most efficient and effective. Yet, to be implementedsuccessfully, any policy mix will also need public acceptance – in the current political and economic climate even more so than in the past. In this context, the objective of this workshop will be to explorethe acceptability of different types of climate policies, in order to understand how the design of policy
instruments affects their acceptability. This will be explored both at the EU level and at the Member State level, such as the Czech Republic.

The FLAGSHIP workshop will be held in Bilbao on Friday, 24th October.

The workshop is hosted by the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), under the title of“Governance challenges, territorial dynamics and their feedback into integrated scenarios building”

Flagship workshop bilbao 20141024

After having assessed and analyzed the state-of-art of Forward Looking Analysis methodologies, and having worked on innovative quantitative and qualitative tools, methods and models to assess Grand Societal Challenges, FLAGSHIP partners are now developing a Policy Brief and are looking for experts’ views and contributions. The on-going work and the questions that emerged will be presented during this one-day workshop. The workshop will include sessions on:
• FLAGSHIP storylines on global scenarios
• FLAGSHIP analysis on the territorial differentiations of exposure and sensitivity
• FLAGSHIP legal governance scenarios and related toolbox of indicators

During the 18th and the 2oth of 0 May 2015, the Northern Team of DECCMA (DEltas, vulnerability and Climate Change; Migration as an Adaptation) research project, are meeting in Bilbao at the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3).

20 scientific experts will be discussing the key research decisions of the projects and will cover the updates on WP activities carried out and future planning.

This workshop, to be held on the 23rd of October 2015 at BC3 offices (Alameda Urquijo 4, 48008 Bilbao) will present the main results of the CECILIA2050 research project with a focus on its ultimate goal: to assess the current EU climate policies in order to formulate near-term and medium-term policy recommendations.

In this workshop we will address relevant questions such as:

How effective and efficient have the EU climate policies been in the past?
How could and should the EU climate policy mix evolve to put the EU on track towards a low-carbon economy?
How should climate and energy policy should interact? What are the risks associated to climate policy fragmentation?
