What happened
Uşak University will host a workshop examining carbon economics and sustainable energy policies in the context of the European Green Deal. The Turkish Academy of Sciences, known as TÜBA, is organising the event, which is scheduled for 16 and 17 October 2026.
The workshop will take place at Uşak University’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Congress and Culture Centre. Its programme is set to address the reduction of carbon emissions, the transition towards clean energy, carbon-economy issues and sustainable energy policy.
A particular emphasis will be placed on the economic and policy dimensions of this transition for energy-intensive industrial sectors. The event therefore brings together themes that sit across industrial activity, energy transition and climate-related policy.
Why it matters
Energy-intensive industries are specifically identified in the workshop agenda, making the event relevant to organisations considering how Green Deal-related transition issues intersect with economic conditions and policy. The planned discussions link decarbonisation and clean-energy change with the policy choices facing these sectors.
Uşak provides an industrial setting for the programme. The city has a strong profile in textile recycling and work on greener organised industrial zones, according to Enerji Günlüğü. Uşak University has also previously held local workshops and meetings addressing climate change, the green economy and organised industrial zones.
The agenda does not set out policy outcomes or commitments. Instead, it is framed as a forum for examining the economic and policy aspects of the transition, alongside the role of carbon management and cleaner energy.
What to watch
Stakeholders following the event can note the scheduled dates and the focus on energy-intensive sectors. The core questions for the workshop will concern carbon economics, emissions reduction, cleaner-energy transition and sustainable energy policy during the European Green Deal process.
Further programme details, including speakers, participation arrangements and any conclusions, were not provided in the available event information.
