PROGRAM WORKING GROUP COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 8 OCTOBER 2020
Connecting industry and communities in the heat transition


Dear working group members, 

We kindly invite you to the ERC WG Community Engagement on 8 October 2020. 
 
NBC Congrescentrum Nieuwegein 
8 October 2020, 13:00 till 16:30 pm

Against the background of the event theme “Reinventing heat supply”, our working group session will take a deeper dive in the implications for our relationship with communities. 

We have invited Christiaan Luca, who will discuss the changes that have occurred ánd will occur in the relationship between business and society, and the new engagement techniques that this requires. The energy industry however will need a fundamental culture change before it appears to be ready to respond to today's societal expectations. Christiaan will make an unexpected connection with the safety journey in the oil and gas industry. Safety has improved impressively over the years, thanks to significant behavioral and cultural changes. If only we could borrow safety´s learning curve!

Our other presenter, Ingrid Kersten, will discuss the implications of the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet). With this act, the government wants to simplify and aggregate the rules for spatial development. The act stands for a good balance between utilizing and protecting the physical living environment. Ingrid will share the implications of the act with us and take a closer look to questions such as ‘How can the Omgevingswet accelerate energy transition? Or is it the other way around?’.
