The SENTINEL project came to an end!
After 3.5 years of an amazing collaboration between 13 partners from 9 European counties the Sustainable Energy Transition Laboratory (SENTINEL) project has been completed! The aim of the project was to create a new modelling framework, modular in structure, incorporating many separate models, which will look in detail at specific technological, geographic, and societal aspects of the transition to a low-carbon energy system. To this end, SENTINEL included a set of case studies at three different geographical levels: 1. National (Greece), 2. Regional (Nordic countries), and 3. Continental (European Union, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and some Balkan countries), to…

SENTINEL final event: How can we decarbonise the European energy system?
The final online event of the SENTINEL, project which took place on the 23rd of November 2022, was a great success, gathering not only stakeholders participating in previous SENTINEL events but also newcomers. The aim of the event was to present and discuss key insights about the options for a transition to climate neutrality in the Europe as well as its multiple implications. More than 60 participants, mainly representing the research community joined our final event. The workshop consisted of plenary participation, divided into two sessions: i. a presentation of the project, its stakeholder engagement process, and modelling results and…

SENTINEL Open Access paper: Stakeholders’ perceptions on the critical issues of the transition to climate neutrality
Our new paper entitled “Eliciting knowledge from stakeholders to identify critical issues of the transition to climate neutrality in Greece, the Nordic Region, and the European Union” is now published at Elsevier’s Energy Research & Social Science journal! The article is produced by Nikos Kleanthis, Dr. Vassilis Stavrakas, Andrzej Ceglarz, Diana Süsser, Amanda Schibline, Johan Lilliestam and Professor Dr. Alexandros Flamos within the context of the European Commission (EC)-funded H2020 Sustainable Energy Transitions Laboratory (SENTINEL) project. There are considerable differences in the pace and underlying motivations of the energy transition in the different geographical contexts across Europe. The European Union’s…

SENTINEL COVID-19 survey: The long-term impact of the pandemic on stakeholder engagement in European sustainability research
The COVID-19 pandemic has large societal and economic impacts and also affects the involvement of stakeholders in European sustainability research projects. The SENTINEL partners (IASS, RGI, TEESlab – UPRC) have developed a survey to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic crisis is affecting the stakeholder engagement activities, its outcomes and the stakeholder involvement in research in the long-term. The survey aims at stakeholders that are involved in European research projects – policymakers (from local to international), representatives of businesses, industry or civil society organisations, or citizens and communities. The questions focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the involvement in…
