Paris, 9

September 2025
Dear President of Parliament,
The Parliamentary Office for Scientific and Technological Assessment
(OPECST), a joint body of the National Assembly and the Senate of the French
Republic, holds the presidency of the European Parliamentary Technology
Assessment (EPTA) network in 2025. EPTA brings together technology
assessment bodies attached to many European parliaments, as well as similar
associated bodies outside Europe.
As part of this presidency, we are pleased to invite you to the EPTA Annual
Conference, which will be held on October 13, 2025, in Paris, at the Palais de
Luxembourg, the seat of the Senate.
The theme of this meeting will be “Transforming the energy mix.” It will
give the opportunity to numerous parliamentarians and experts to discuss the
different strategies adopted by our countries to achieve carbon neutrality, assess
the technological impacts of these decisions, and examine the conditions for the
social acceptability of this energy transition.
At the end of this day of discussions, we will have the great pleasure of
welcoming you to a reception held in your honor in the salons of the Hôtel de
Lassay at the Presidency of the National Assembly.
We sincerely hope that your assembly will be able to attend this event, which
will contribute to deepening the dialogue between parliamentarians and
scientists and promoting the consideration of science in political decision-
making.
Yours sincerely,
O
