Several publications have already emerged from this network, and further publications in the form of special issues or edited volumes are planned for the new contributions.

The objective of the conference is to analyse the dynamic of European integration in the fields of sustainability policy and action. Questions will be asked about the extent to which a ‘narrowing’ in the definition of the concept of sustainability has taken place, as seen through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals and in the response of the European Union and European nations in particular. The European Union is portrayed as a global actor in the development of Sustainability Policy. A key question to be addressed is to what extent international perceptions meet realities ‘at home’ and the extent to which a European model of sustainability has emerged.

Four panels will address the following topics:

• Energy and sustainability: an integration puzzle
• Interacting with communities
• Sustainability as a political challenge
• EU policies and technologies

On Monday, 13 June 22, 16:15-18:15 CET, we will host a session on funding.
