Ecological transitions put to the test by institutional dynamics: the role of structures and trust 

The PTL Transition – Governance – Society of the Social Sciences Cluster is organizing a conference-debate featuring Thomas Bolognesi, Associate Professor of Economics at Grenoble École de Management and co-author of the opinion piece published in Le Monde (September 20, 2025): "The social acceptability of renewable energies requires trust in institutions."

As a specialist in public water policy and institutional trust dynamics, he will analyze how institutional structures, forms of governance, and trust relationships influence the acceptability of public policies for ecological transition.

This conference is part of the reflections of the PTL Transition – Governance – Society, dedicated to the study of social, legal, political, and economic changes related to contemporary transitions.
