DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte expresses its deep sorrow at the passing of Edgar Morin (1921–2026), who died on 29 May 2026.

Edgar Morin was a leading intellectual figure and a constant source of inspiration for the scientific identity of the research unit. His work, particularly his reflections on the epistemology of complexity, transdisciplinarity, the ecology of action, and polycrisis, has provided an important conceptual framework for internal debate and for the strategic development of knowledge on the dynamics of socio-economic and territorial change.

At this time of mourning, DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte pays tribute to his extraordinary intellectual legacy and to the decisive contribution he made to advancing our understanding of the complex challenges facing contemporary societies.

Nuno Bento, researcher at DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte, helps us reflect on the current state of affairs regarding the energy transition, warning us: without looking at the demand side, “the share of renewables in final consumption will grow more slowly and the transition will become more expensive”.
