This axis aims to investigate these cross-sectoral topics, to study the energy transition not in an analytical way, by taking care of the components one by one, but in a systemic way, by considering the system of relationships between these components.
The objectives of this axis are:
The research program is for the moment more oriented toward macro-economic modelling but it will progressively broaden during the second stage of the Chair.
The axis currently evolves around three core topics
