The discussions centred on the Policy Lab, implemented as part of the Life After Coal project. Coordinated by PPNT, the Policy Lab consists of a series of meetings and activities aimed at developing recommendations to support the transition of Eastern Wielkopolska. The project itself focuses on accelerating the region’s energy transition and pursuing climate neutrality.
Participants discussed the project’s objectives and activities undertaken to date. The discussions also explored potential areas of cooperation and opportunities for the academic community to contribute to the transformation of Eastern Wielkopolska.
The visit also provided an opportunity to learn more about PPNT’s activities. Guests toured the laboratories of the Research Services Team and the Poznań Radiocarbon Laboratory 14C, gaining insight into the Park’s research infrastructure and the scope of its scientific work.
Participants left the meeting with fresh perspectives and a special gift designed by PPNT, reflecting the nature and key ideas of the initiative.
