Highlights of the Past Year

Hi ,

As another year draws to a close, we would like to start our December newsletter by thanking everyone who has accompanied and supported us on our journey this year – our dedicated colleagues, numerous project partners, the members of our advisory board, our strategic partners and those who have supported us with donations. Thank you very much!

We also reflect on the highlights of the year together: an important milestone was the successful move to new, larger office spaces. In 2024, we worked on around eighty projects that lead to more than 65 studies, statements, articles and other publications. Through workshops and around 50 presentations as well as conference contributions, we were able to share our findings with the scientific and political community and support their practical application.

As always, we report on the latest developments and news of the month – these include a delegation trip to Hanoi, the latest edition of the Berlin Energy Round Table and a webinar on the legal framework for hydrogen derivatives.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue and that you have a pleasant festive period! 

Until next time,
