Upcoming! EMP-E Conference 2019: Modelling (the implementation of) A Clean Planet For All Strategy
The H2020 Energy modelling group, consisting of nine Horizon 2020 projects funded by the European Commission’s Research and Innovation Programme [1], is pleased to announce the Third Meeting of the Energy Modelling Platform for Europe (EMP-E) 2019, hosted on October 8th and 9th by the European Commission DG Research & Innovation in Brussels.
The Energy Modelling Platform for Europe (EMP-E) is an annual conference, bringing together scientists and policy makers on current and innovative energy modelling issues. Due to the active involvement of EC representatives and leading researchers, the aim is to bridge the gap between modelling and policy making at European, regional and local level. Stakeholders are provided with a peer-reviewed digest of model and policy insights for the transformation of the European energy system.
The platform constitutes a continuous forum for exchanging research, development and practice of energy system modelling in Europe and, where feasible, promotes the sharing of data and resources. It thus aims to increase the efficiency, integrity and access to European energy modelling data, scenarios, tools and results.
The agenda of the Energy Modelling Platform 2019 meeting includes four plenary sessions on the key themes of
Additionally, it provides the possibility to participate in several focus groups, which deal with specialised topics, such as “Behavioural aspects in energy system models” and “Linking climate and energy models in scenario analysis”. Most focus groups are set up and chaired by researchers from the organising projects, but the proactive contribution of participants is welcome.
We particularly emphasize the networking space, which is structured as an open space where all participants, from decision makers to invited researchers and modelling teams, can meet and exchange on common questions and the exhibited posters. The networking space constitutes a central part of the conference and it provides an overview of the EU model-landscape and an insight to ongoing projects.
The results of the meeting will be published after a peer-review process in a Special Issue of the Journal Energy Strategy Reviews (Elsevier).

The agenda of the Energy Modelling Platform 2019 meeting includes four plenary sessions on the key themes of
- Pathways and scenarios towards the Paris agreement,
- Decarbonisation of cities: modelling energy transition, sector coupling and cross-sectoral challenges,
- Investments as a key factor to RES implementation in the EU and
- The effects of externalisation on decarbonisation pathways.

Special Issue of Energy Strategy Reviews (Elsevier): Modelling Clean Energy Pathways
This Special Issue collects contributions on themes to be discussed at the 2nd Energy Modelling Platform for Europe (EMP-E), which will be held on September 25th and 26th, 2018. It constitutes a peer-reviewed digest of models, approaches and policy insights for the assessment of Clean energy pathways for the EU energy system vis-à-vis the Energy Union strategy. It provides academics and decision makers with a deep review of cutting-edge EU-focused energy modelling research, to assist the EU energy system transition towards 2030, 2050 and beyond.
The content of the Special Issue will cover three key themes, in line with the three themes of the EMP-E 2018:
