Summary

The aim of this topic is to deliver innovative tools, solutions and modules to enable research infrastructures to support studies and assessment on the social aspects of the green transition, advancing the state-of-art of RIs in the EU and Associated Countries, and showing transformative potential in their operation in line with the ambition of the European Union. Social aspects of the green transition may include: energy poverty and transport poverty, green jobs and skills, gender and equality aspects of the green transition, or other aspects of the fair transition towards climate neutrality.
