Europe's largest green transition think tanks to merge operations

Two of Europe's most influential energy and green transition policy think tanks, Agora and RAP, are merging to create the largest dedicated green transition research institution in the bloc.

The combined entity will consolidate expertise in climate policy, renewable energy deployment, and industrial decarbonization strategy. Both organisations have shaped EU climate and energy legislation through research and advisory work.

The merger reflects consolidation within European policy research aimed at strengthening influence on Commission and member-state decision-making. The new organisation will operate during a critical period as the EU implements its European Green Deal and net-zero by 2050 commitments.
