The ECOSENS Project successfully concluded its final conference “Futures for nuclear energy? Social, economic and environmental considerations”, held on 8–9 September 2025 at Politecnico di Milano. The event brought together 35 researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders from across Europe to discuss the societal, economic, and environmental dimensions of nuclear energy in the context of the energy transition.

The Book of Abstracts is now available online, featuring 36 contributions across four thematic areas:

  • Societal Perspectives – public attitudes, stakeholder engagement, and media discourse
  • Sustainability Assessment – life-cycle approaches and participatory evaluations
  • Socio-Economic Models – financing, governance, and integration into decarbonisation scenarios
  • Historical and Ethical Reflections – lessons from past experiences and ethical considerations

The publication provides a comprehensive overview of the project’s outcomes and the diverse perspectives shaping Europe’s nuclear future.
