About T&E

T&E Polska is Poland's new leading think tank and expert group on decarbonizing transport. T&E has a thirty-year history of championing innovation with a strong focus on the role of technology in the successful economic and energy transition that is already under way. Our work focuses on producing original, high quality and rigorous research and analysis. We provide practical policy recommendations to address the critical issues facing transport and energy systems in Poland and Europe. We do this to accelerate the green transition in a way that ensures affordability and accessibility to all citizens.

Through scientific and knowledge-based analyses, collaboration with industry and policy makers, the aim is to show how it is possible to create a climate-neutral and climate-resilient society. We believe that Poland can be a major winner from the transition, building a strong industrial base that promotes and protects jobs and improves living standards, but this requires urgent political and industry action.

T&E Polska will convey knowledge and ideas that are thought-provoking and expand the space for political debate, and promote proposals for reforms. We will emphasize an idea-based and principled perspective in the climate debate.

T&E Polska will function as a network of people with different political party affiliations, and from different parts of society (academia, business, media, organisational life and politics).
