The geography of green iron and steel: Opportunities for Europe and North Africa
15 January 2025
Online
On 15 January 2025 from 09:30-10:45 CET, ECDPM is organising a webinar on the geography of green iron and steel and the opportunities for Europe and North Africa.
Energy-intensive industries in Europe present a challenge in terms of decarbonisation due to associated costs, but also an opportunity to reassess the geography of these industries and how the EU engages with partners. Moreover, given that the EU will require its partners more than ever as it decarbonises its industry, it is essential to examine how these relations can be strengthened/improved.

Whereas the media tends to focus their attention on irregular migration, and boat migration in particular, statistical data provides a very different picture.
Enhancing EU Inclusive Growth: Strategies For Attracting Highly Skilled Workforce And Talents
October 17, 2024
Online
The mobility and exchange of talents on international level is a complex issue. It is not just about economic growth and global competiveness, but also human beings whose knowledge and personal engagement we need to merit.
As long as EU governments and the EU institutions do not fully take into account the entire scale of human factors involved, no successful talent mobility scheme can ever be executed. The prospective employers and the EU governments offering visa residence permits jobs and professional careers, as well as the recruited talents and professionals, all share a stake in this complex operation and should benefit from it on equal terms.
