​On 27 May 2025, from 14:30 to 17:30 CET, CERRE will host the launch event of the upcoming report “The Flexibility Challenge in the Energy Sector” at the University Foundation in Brussels. 

​The event will open with a fireside chat on “Bridging national priorities: can the single market deliver flexibility for all”, and feature a presentation of CERRE’s latest report on the matter, which is a collaboration of Prof Chloé Le Coq (CERRE Research Fellow and University Paris Panthéon-Assas), Dr Daniel Duma (CERRE Research Fellow, Stockholm Environment Institute), Anna Rita Bennato (Loughborough University) and Ewa Lazarczyk (Reykjavik University).
