The workshop organised by the House of Energy, Climate and Finance (HECF) brings together leading experts, researchers, and academics in the fields of energy, climate, and finance to explore the intersections of these crucial disciplines. The event promises engaging discussions, insightful presentations, and sample networking opportunities for participants.

Our program is centred around four themes:

• Climate policy with a special focus on the EU ETS
• Financing the green transition
• AI in energy markets
• Enterprises and climate change

The two-day conference (25^th and 26^th March) includes plenaries, panels, contributed talks, and poster sessions. Obviously, there are opportunities to network with our conference sponsors, supporting partners, and other delegates.
