ST4TE at #ERSA2025: Call for Contributions! 🌍💡 The 64th ERSA Congress (64th ERSA Congress) will focus on “Regional Science in Turbulent Times: In Search of a Resilient, Sustainable, and Inclusive Future.” As part of the event, a Special Session on "Twin Transition & Its Unequal Geography", organised by the ST4TE & MOBI-TWIN Projects, will examine how green and digital transformations are reshaping regional economies, labour markets, and communities. Join our session and submit an abstract to participate in the discussion! We welcome contributions to: 📌 Geographical implications of the Twin Transition on labour markets, regional inequalities, and policy responses. 📌 Empirical and theoretical insights into regional disparities and transformation dynamics. 📌 Case studies and policy responses addressing transition effects and local strategies. The session will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to discuss strategies for ensuring that the benefits of the Twin Transition are distributed equitably across regions. 📅 Submission deadline: 25 February 2025 📩 Contact Christina Kakderi & Anastasia Panori for more details. 🔗 Call for abstracts & submission guidelines: https://lnkd.in/dfmXuGnz Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH)

📢 Check out our latest blog on the ST4TE website! The green and digital transitions are reshaping our economies and societies, bringing new opportunities for growth, sustainability, and innovation. But these shifts also come with risks, such as widening existing inequalities and creating new ones. 🟩 What do we mean by the green and digital transition? 🟦 What inequalities may those transitions generate or exacerbate? 🟩How can we ensure that progress is just and equitable in Europe? In our latest article, we explore these questions and introduce the ST4TE project’s approach 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGj_FDHa #TwinTransition #GreenTransition #DigitalTransition #ST4TE

As 2024 comes to an end, we at ST4TE would like to wish you happy holidays and happy New Year! ✨ We hope you’ve enjoyed learning more about our project and its goals, and discovering more about the Twin Transition.

Beneath the surface of the Green and Digital Transitions lie structural inequalities that can deepen existing divides. In this final post of our series (4/4), we explore examples of how access to financing, political influence, and technology often favour some groups over others. Without equitable access to green financing, for example, smaller businesses and lower-income households may struggle to adopt sustainable solutions. Similarly, policy influence often aligns with wealthier regions, potentially side lining those in greater need. ST4TE seeks to illustrate these structural gaps, advocating for policies that make the Twin Transition accessible to all. 👉 Check out our carousel to learn more. #ST4TE #ST4TEProject #TwinTransition #GreenTransition #DigitalTransition #Inequalities

The impacts of the Green and Digital Transitions vary widely by location, creating distinct geographical inequalities. In this third post of our series (3/4), we explore examples of how regions can be at risk of falling behind in the race to adapt. Urban areas often have better infrastructure to support digital and green initiatives, while many rural regions face obstacles like limited resources and slower digital development. Climate risks also hit certain regions harder, demanding tailored adaptation measures. ST4TE examines these geographical divides, aiming to build evidence-based support systems that address unique regional challenges. 👉 Click through our carousel for a closer look. #ST4TE #ST4TEProject #TwinTransition #GreenTransition #DigitalTransition #Inequalities

As the Green and Digital Transitions reshape our economies and societies, some social barriers could deepen. This second post in our series (2/4) highlights examples of how the Twin Transition risks amplifying existing social inequalities. From education to employment, disparities in access can exclude key groups from the benefits of these shifts. Marginalised communities, underrepresented groups, and those lacking digital or green skills face unique challenges. ST4TE combines data analysis with personal narratives to identify these social barriers, paving the way for inclusive policies and fairer opportunities. 👉 Explore our carousel to learn more. #ST4TE #ST4TEProject #TwinTransition #GreenTransition #DigitalTransition #Inequalities

The Twin Transition – both green and digital – is reshaping how we live, work, and consume, but its benefits don’t necessarily reach everyone equally. This first post in our series (1/4) explores examples of how economic inequality can widen as access to resources and technologies varies. The Twin Transition brings opportunities, but also risks: high-skill roles are in demand, while automation may limit options for low-skilled workers. At the same time, the cost of sustainable products keeps green choices out of reach for many. Through ST4TE, we are mapping these disparities and translating data into actionable insights to help reduce economic divides during the transition. 👉 Check out our carousel for a deeper dive. #ST4TE #ST4TEProject #TwinTransition #GreenTransition #DigitalTransition #Inequalities

🌍 Last week, ST4TE joined the OECD World Forum on #Wellbeing in Rome, joining forces with our Horizon Europe sister projects - READJUST, MERGE, and Fitter-EU - to explore how the Twin Transition can create a more inclusive and sustainable future. The forum provided a valuable platform to discuss pressing challenges and share our project’s focus areas, including: 👉 Mapping green, digital, and twin technological capabilities to understand regional disparities 👉 Examining how the Twin Transition impacts inequalities across skills, occupations, and industries 👉 Making targeted policy recommendations to support more equitable pathways toward green and digital futures Thank you to everyone who engaged with us at the event! 🌱 If you want to learn more about our project, visit our website at www.st4te.eu #OECDWellbeing #OECDForum #JustTransitions #Sustainability #HorizonEU #EUResearch #ST4TE #ST4TEProject #TwinTransition #GreenTransition #DigitalTransition
