The chal- lenges call for energy transitions: changes that concern entire energy systems, not just some of their parts. These changes are structural, as they modify the way energy provision is organized at the level of society. They are radical, since they may demand abandoning existing technolo- gies even if they still work. And the changes are fundamental, because they require that we start thinking in novel ways about energy, its provi- sion, and how a good and just society is organized around energy. Transitions do not only pose technological challenges, but involve enor- mous social, political and economic changes as well. Changes concern market relations, social and institutional roles and responsibilities, and the emergence of new actors. Most policy documents and future visions focus on economic, geo- political and technological changes. Insofar as social processes are con- cerned, they are discussed at an aggregate and undifferentiated way: as a human factor, which is at best the receiver of policies and econom- ic transactions, and at worst a resid- ual category containing the overflows of economic and technological interven- tions.

  • EFP Workshop Future of Cultural Heritage Paper
    Workshop Agenda Meeting EFP European Policy Workshop Date 18th of December 2012 Place Neth-ER, 22 Rue d’Arlon / Aarlenstraat 22, Brussels Start / Close 10:30-17:00 Future of Cultural Heritage Impact of external developments Cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, includes a wide range of artistic and cultural forms of expression, such as literature, the visual arts, architecture, music and theatre, but also oral traditions, social practices, rituals, and monuments. Cultural heritage is defined by what people consider nowadays as of cultural importance because of personal, social, political and economic reasons. Cultural heritage includes all that is preserved and therefore becomes part of our individual and collective memory. Cultural heritage is not fixed, but is dynamic in a changing world. Cultural heritage provides memory and a retrospective on past developments and achievements, but offers also a reflection on our identity nowadays as well as a source of inspiration for the future. Cultural heritage is important for both society and economy. It contributes to forming an individual and collective identity, supports improving social and territorial cohesion, is of great economic importance for the tourism industry, and has potential for defining new types of artistic careers. This importance for society and economy demands a better protection, promotion and use of the European cultural heritage. Europe’s cultural heritage is a fragile resource and exposed to many threats such as climate change and pollution, but also to increasing urbanization and negligence. At the same time, the way of thinking about cultural heritage is evolving and the way cultural heritage is developed, appropriated, enriched, promoted and transmitted is also changing.

  • EHPA 3Rd European Heat Pump Forum | 20 May 2010
    Invitation EHPA 3rd European Heat Pump Forum | 20 May 2010 EU Representation of Baden-Württemberg Rue Belliard 60-62, B-1040 Brussels Preamble The European Heat Pump Association celebrates its 10th anniversa- ry in 2010. The Association has therefore decided to organize the 3rd European Heat Pump Forum in Brussels to make it more easy for all participants to join us. For over 10 years now, the European Heat Pump Association has actively been promoting the integration of heat pump technology into European legislation. And we can proudly say that we have been successful – heat pumps have found its way to Brussels and into the minds of policymakers. With the Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (2009/28/EC), energy from air, water and ground has been recognized as a renewable energy source and the direc- tive also calls for the use of heat pump technology for the most efficient and sustainable way to produce hot water as well as for the heating and cooling process. The implementing measures (Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 10) made under the Eco-design Directive (2009/125/EC) concern all kind of energy-related products (including heat pumps) and aim to improve the energy efficiency and environ- mental performance of this technology. The energy performance of buildings Directive will strongly influence the construction sector towards more energy efficient buildings, a tendency that makes them even more suitable for the use of heat pumps. The 3rd European Heat Pump Forum in Brussels (20 May 2010) takes place at a point in time when securing an affordable, environmentally friendly and stable energy supply is of key importance to actors on all policy levels.
