Regional event

In this blog, Professor Diana-Maria Cismaru reflects on STRATEGY CCUS’s engagement with stakeholders through tailored events in our target regions

After three years of research across eight European regions, we have reached one of the most rewarding moments of the project: sharing our results with the industries, policymakers and communities that we hope will use and benefit from them. 

Key developments in academic papers and deliverables

As STRATEGY CCUS draws to a close, our researchers are busy finalising the project’s findings and sharing key developments in academic papers and deliverables.

Please find below some of our recent successes in publishing journal and conference papers:
