Instead of Newsletter No. 3 please find attached Book of Abstracts form ECOSENS final conference 2025 “Futures for nuclear energy? Social, economic and environmental considerations,” taking place 8–9 September 2025 at the Politecnico di Milano. The volume gathers 36 abstracts across four themes: Societal Perspectives, Sustainability Assessment, Socio-Economic Models, and Historical & Ethical Reflections and showcases contributions from researchers and practitioners across Europe, and in particular results from ECOSENS project. They underscore persistent gaps between legal commitments and actual practice in stakeholder engagement across Europe and culminate in actionable recommendations, such as institutionalising early, continuous participation, strengthening transparency, and establishing independent oversight to improve nuclear governance.
