André Cartapanis, Sciences-Po Aix Tuesday, June 20 6:00– 7:20pm Round Table : New challenges for regional development policies (In French) - Amphi 2 The current technological change and globalization waves seem to be biased in favor of some areas and in de-favor of others. The resulting increasing economic and social divides between core and peripheral areas raise new challenges for regional development policies and call for designing specific actions at different spatial scales: regions, cities or industrial clusters. Joachim Oliviera Martins, OECD Regional Development Policy Division Wednesday, June 21 1:45–3:15pm Round Table : The challenges of the energy transition (In French) - Amphi 3 The concept of energy transition refers to the transition from an economy primarily using dirty fossil energies to an economy primarily using clean renewable energies.

This round table aims at discussing the economics of transition, that is the conditions under which the transition can indeed takes place, the economic policies which would help it to happen and which should accompany it. The case of Germany, a pioneer country in terms or energy transition will be discussed as well as the case of Asean countries. Patrick Criqui, GAEL, CNRS |
