The Policy Conference of the EU Sustainable Energy Week is the biggest European conference dedicated to renewables and efficient energy use in Europe. The Policy Conference hosts several sessions – interactive meetings, each lasting 1.5 hours (90 minutes) – that focus on sustainable energy issues and debate new policy developments, best practices and new ideas.  This year’s theme for the event is “Towards 2030: Reshaping the European Energy System“.

The Policy Conference will be held online from 25-28 October 2021.
