In the framework of our 10th anniversary celebrations, Bruegel is organising a series of events in the capitals of our member states. These debates, talks and conferences will bring crucial European topics to audiences across the continent.
This conference in Berlin addressed two topics at the forefront of policy debates in Germany and Europe: stable growth and the energy transition. Both are central to the Juncker Commission's plans to help Europe recover from the crisis, but which specific policy measures could deliver the greatest benefits?
This event took place at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
