FEPS Headquarters (Brussels), 5 April 2022

Join the launch event of the book 📕 The Circular Economy and Green Jobs in the EU and Beyond.

The book clarifies the meaning and the implications of the circular economy across different contexts. It goes beyond simply arguing in favour of a circular economy and critically assesses the political and distributional choices that are made during this transition.

Edited by Janis Brizga and Saïd El Khadraoui and with a foreword by Frans Timmermans, Vice-President of the European Commission.

Strategic Autonomy Tech Alliances
By Prof. Dr Paul Timmers

A significant number of digital technologies are essential for our economy, society and democracy. It is not feasible, nor is it desirable, for the EU to become self-sufficient in each of these.

Europe needs to bring together political support and industrial ecosystems in key technology areas and to build strategic autonomy tech alliances. This will allow the EU to build and sustain the necessary capabilities, capacities and control. Read the Policy Study
Talking Green Hungary – Public perception of a just green transition in Hungary
By Benedek Jávor

This policy brief is part of the Talking Green Project and summarises the results of an opinion poll in Hungary that go far beyond the usual questions querying the importance of climate change or personal commitments to act.

Digital strategic autonomy: the EU needs to go beyond legislation

To achieve Strategic Autonomy in the digital domain, the EU must do more than legislate, says FEPS Digital Policy Analyst Justin Nogarede in this article on Euractiv. The EU needs to assert more political control over crucial supply chains and standardisation processes and invest in the development of public digital infrastructure. Read the op-ed

The Recovery Watch project, in partnership with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung and Institut Emile Vandervelde, kicked off in Brussels on 30 March 2022.

During the one-day exchange, European experts from different policy fields contributed to the four focus areas of the project: EU Governance, Climate Action, Digital Investment, and Welfare Measures.

The meeting was the occasion to discuss the upcoming policy studies, share insights on national recovery plans’ measures, and identify data sources, methods, and recommendations. More info

The sustainable product initiative in particular provides an opportunity to increase the scope of an integrated approach to the circular economy that has already been pioneered in areas like the regulation of batteries to all kinds of products. Read more
