Final Event of the Energytran Project: Perspectives on the Energy Transition in Ibero-America (26–27 November 2025, Santiago de Chile)

The results of this scientific cooperation between research infrastructures from Latin America and the European Union in the field of energy transition will be presented on 26–27 November 2025 at the Aula Magna of the Pontificia Universidad Católica in Santiago de Chile. This event will mark the conclusion of the two-year Energytran project. It will bring together diverse perspectives on the energy transition in our region, while also serving to identify challenges and chart new avenues for scientific collaboration in this field, viewed through the lenses of public policy, technology, the environment, and social impact.
On October 8 and 9, the virtual event “Towards an Environmentally Sustainable Energy Transition” will take place, within the framework of Energytran.

On October 8 and 9, the virtual event “Towards an Environmentally Sustainable Energy Transition” will take place. It will be a space for reflection, delving into the effects that alternative energy systems can have on ecosystems, the main associated changes, and strategies to address them, while also presenting successful examples of policies and regulations for a green transition
