This project aims to strengthen coordination between Italy and Germany concerning energy transition and energy security, both at the bilateral and European levels. To achieve this, it creates thematic workshops with experts, representatives from institutions, and the private sector of both countries to discuss how the two countries can enhance cooperation and expedite the transition.
The findings from each workshop will also help in the formulation of recommendations for policymakers.

The project focuses on energy and climate policy issues of interest to Italy and advocacy activities to engage a wider audience in the run-up to the European elections.The project builds on an initial study carried out by IAI for EDF Europe on recent challenges and opportunities for reconciling energy security and climate policy in the country.

The project analyzes the direct and indirect impact of European demand for agricultural products on global deforestation, and proposes policy, technical and social solutions to reduce or minimize it. The research considers in particular recent European policy developments following both the launch of the Green Deal and the debate around new European legislation related to the import of deforestation-causing products and forest management (the EUDR above all). It focuses on case studies in Brazil and Indonesia and on some commodities-coffee in particular.

The goal of this project is to analyse current initiatives that aim to strengthen and broaden transatlantic dialogue and cooperation on the challenges posed by technological development, with particular attention to digitalisation and energy transition.
