Plenary Session
Closing ceremony with keynote speaker
Title: Is “green aviation” really possible?
In this talk we will consider whether the decarbonization of aviation to meet the Paris Agreement objective of keeping global warming to 1.5℃ is really feasible, and what would be needed to make it happen. In short, the aviation industry, with its present incentives, leadership, and culture, will not even come close to meeting the necessary carbon reduction goals. If we are serious about them, some drastic changes are needed—and quickly.

Title: How to reach 90% and more reduction of greenhouse gases – consistent scenario building for achieving climate targets with Germany serving as a case-study
Constantin holds a Bachelor’s in environmental engineering and Master’s degree in energy engineering from the RWTH Aachen and a MBA from the Collège des Ingénieurs. During his master’s Constantin also worked as a Visiting Research Scholar at Stanford’s Energy Resource Engineering Department researching on effects of extreme events for energy optimization problems using aggregated data. He is an active advocate for sustainability and energy transition in particular – speaking at multiple conferences, leading workshops and organizing seminars on these topics.
Milda Pladaite
Our objectives and actions associated:
DEVELOP our understanding of EYE network (diversity, interest in the organization, focus on energy and environment related topics) and BUILD stronger relationships with our stakeholders.
INFORM and develop awareness about climate change and energy transition.
BUILD an active collaborative network about energy & environment in Europe.
To do so we are developing the EYE Map (photo). During this workshop we will introduce our work and have round table discussions where every EYE member organisation will share they best practices and challenges.
Petros Kkolas
Title: LinkedIn for Engineers – Tweak it and get the best out of it
It may be possible, that until now you may have correlated Linkedin with job searching.
The truth is that the capabilities are much more than you believe.
Use the knowledge you will gain from the workshop and develop your profile in order to “Win friends and influence people” as Dale Carnegie predictably wrote in 1936.
