The Future of Cooling in Europe
This afterwork event will bring together experts from the cooling sector, with a particular focus on the EU policy framework and the upcoming Heating and Cooling Plan.

He will be followed by Jean-Sébastien Broc from our partner IEECP, who will present the main lessons learned and the policy recommendations emerging from the project.
