On 8 July 2025, the R²D² project held a successful online workshop titled “Strengthening Energy Infrastructure Against Extreme Events”, bringing together over 90 participants from across Europe. The event offered a deep dive into how innovative solutions developed within the R²D² project are being applied in real-life contexts to reinforce the resilience of critical energy systems.

The session featured insights and experiences from the project’s three pilot sites in Slovenia, Greece, and Portugal. These countries, each facing different climate-related risks, provided concrete examples of how tailored technological and strategic interventions can help mitigate the impact of extreme weather events on energy infrastructure.

Participants had the opportunity to hear directly from the teams implementing the R²D² solutions on the ground. The workshop highlighted how the tools and technologies being tested are not only technically robust but also adaptable to local needs and challenges.

The event also sparked engaging discussions, with participants raising key questions about replicability, scalability, and policy integration—topics that will remain central as the project moves forward.
