French-German Climate Conference “Entretiens Franco-Allemands de Nancy” (EFAN) in Grand Nancy (France)

EFAN took place November 25–26, 2021 in Nancy. Experts in science and business, policymakers, students and young researchers from Germany and France discussed key climate change topics such as hydrogen and new materials. The scientific, societal, and political challenges of the future were addressed in a series of workshops in order to initiate innovation projects and new partnerships, and to create a greener, more sustainable, and more competitive Europe together.

For EFAN 2022, intensive cross-border press relations helped us reach a wide range of media publications in Germany and France, with reports in Saarland’s weekly magazine “Forum”, Lorraine print media “La Semaine”, “L’Est Républicain” and “Les Tablettes Lorraines”, the business magazine “Les Acteurs du Franco-Allemand”, and on various radio stations and online media, such as “Voisins/Nachbarn”, “Energiezukunft”, and “Mein Frankreich”.
