The SCEPA Community of Interest (CoI) is launching a new series of SCEPA Talks for 2025 - 2026. These online sessions bring together practitioners, policymakers and community stakeholders working on energy transition and energy poverty across North-West Europe.
SCEPA Talks: learning from practise
The SCEPA Talks are a series of five online events dedicated to different energy poverty approaches that SCEPA scales up. Each session includes:
• A presentation by the pilot team on key challenges and lessons learned
• Reflections from Community of Interest members
• Interactive discussions with practical tips and real-life solutions
Together, these talks create a space for exchange between local authorities, energy agencies, and community actors who tackle energy vulnerability on the ground.
Overview of SCEPA Talks
All SCEPA Talks are online and open to members of the Community of Interest. Registration links, exact dates and further instructions will be shared via email ahead of each session. Members are encouraged to actively participate, share their experiences and contribute to the peer-learning environment. Not a memeber of our Community of Interest yet? Sign up here.
