   WP6 - Policy Integration:

• Integrating Social Sciences Research with EU Energy Policy-Making / Policy Brief and Recommendations (D6.1) - The background to this briefing concerns the effectiveness of EU and national member state policies to realise the energy transition and how best to understand and to tackle the social and technical challenges which need to be overcome in order to do so. Fundamental issues involve the integration of energy policy with other EU and national policies, the integration of social scientific knowledge with that generated by science disciplines and how such findings inform EU energy policy-making.

• Policy briefing 2 (D6.2): Guidelines for developing and implementing national and local energy consumption interventions - The briefing outlines the policy-relevant findings from work packages so far conducted on the ENERGISE project. It summaries lessons learned about developing and implementing sustainable energy consumption initiatives in the EU and discusses the policy framing of different types of sustainable energy consumption initiatives. The report reflects on the design and implementation of ENERGISE Living Labs, taking into account the analysis of cross-country data on energy use practices in eight countries.

• Policy briefing 3 (D6.3) ENERGISE Findings and Policy Implications
• Policy Report 1 (D6.4) - The deliverable reviews the state of the art concerning energy policy integration in the EU, focusing on the integration of social science and humanities within EU energy research and policy-making. Central to the report is the application of the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries, which is employed to analyse prevailing approaches to integrating knowledge from social sciences with energy research and policy-making in the EU.

• Policy Report 2 (D6.5) - Good Practice Guidelines for Developing and Implementing Sustainable Energy Consumption Initiatives in the EU
• Policy Paper 3 (D6.6) Synthesis and Translation of ENERGISE Results
