Project title: Repower democracy
The project contributes to critical enquiry into the possibilities of more democratic futures and their interrelationship with transitions of energy systems. The overarching aim is to repower democracy in Europe, to help its citizens to be actively engaged in democratic processes by taking responsibility for tackling the issues involved in negotiating the future supply of energy as well as the changing nature of democracy – the two questions that perhaps, unlike any other in the contemporary world, demand our immediate attention.
Well done!
