The Era of New Energy? (UNE) brings together national and international experts to discuss the societal impacts of the energy transition and the emerging hydrogen economy.

The city of Pori, with its strategy grounded in emission-free energy production, offers a globally relevant setting for exploring the interaction between industry, environmental values, and the local community. Join us in Pori from December 3–4 to discuss how the green energy transition and hydrogen economy are shaping our future!

The diverse two-day program includes an excursion to Meri-Pori, expert presentations, and a panel discussion on the challenges of the energy transition. There will also be workshops on related topics and a screening of The Return of the Atom.
