The Centre for Sustainable Energy and Climate Policy Research (SENLAB), located within Izmir University of Economics, is a dynamic research hub dedicated to innovative, solution-oriented, and interdisciplinary studies in energy and climate policy. Our work integrates diverse perspectives to address critical global challenges such as climate change, energy security, and the pressing need for a green transition towards sustainable and resilient energy systems. Through these efforts, SENLAB contributes to both local and international sustainable development goals.

At SENLAB, we are committed to fostering societal change through scientifically grounded policy recommendations that account for social, economic, and environmental factors. A central aspect of our mission is to support the green transition by promoting energy efficiency, advancing clean technologies, and enhancing energy independence. These initiatives are crucial in the global fight against climate change and the development of sustainable energy systems. We also place a strong emphasis on raising public awareness and encouraging active engagement with these key energy and climate issues.

With its extensive expertise and dedication, SENLAB’s research team aims to play a crucial role in shaping energy policies, both in Turkey and internationally. We actively participate in research projects funded by European Union programs such as Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, generating new insights into sustainable energy, climate policy, and the green transition. Our commitment to building strong partnerships within academia and across sectors further enhances our potential to influence the global shift towards a sustainable, low-carbon future.
