ECEMP 2022 Conference

Acting on the ambitions to a net-zero EU: roadblocks, challenges, and opportunities

October 5-7 2022, online/Brussels

This year`s EMP-E Conference under its new name “European Climate and Energy Modelling Platform (ECEMP)” will be held online on October 5-7, 2022.

The submission portal and more information about the guidelines for abstracts is now available on the conference website.

The deadline has been extended to June 30th!

This year’s conference will be planned again as an online event. We will set up the same possibilities for interaction as last year to ensure an engaging, policy-oriented and enjoyable conference experience.

This year, the overarching topic is: Acting on the ambitions to a net-zero EU: roadblocks, challenges and opportunities.

We will encourage paper and poster abstract submissions which fit the following sub-themes:

  • Day 1: Mitigation, adaptation and climate impacts
  • Day 2: Innovation, societal and technical changes for Net Zero
  • Day 3: Bridging national and European energy modelling to inform strategies for 2030, 2040 and 2050.


We look forward to receiving your abstracts for oral/poster presentations!

The ECEMP Organization Committee from the ECEMF project is composed by:

List of topics for sessions:

  • Day 1: Energy security and geopolitics for fossil and low-carbon fuels
