Just Systems was invited to host a special session at this IEEE-sponsored international conference, held on 4–5 December in Newcastle upon Tyne and online, following a proposal from Prof Maheri in the EFEA2025 Steering Committee.
The session, chaired by Prof Bone, opened with an overview of the Just Systems initiative presented by Tavis Potts and Jone Bone from the Just Transition Lab, University of Aberdeen. Their presentation outlined the rationale behind the initiative and how it aligns with current priorities in energy transition research.
This was followed by four interdisciplinary papers delivered by Ramin Mansouri, Iyowuna Gobo, and Alireza Maheri from the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen. These papers examined the impacts of multi-vector renewable energy systems on fuel poverty and employment and highlighted the role of holistic systems approaches in shaping sustainable energy-transition pathways.
