LUCE Awards 2025 – Women for the green transition

Building on the momentum of the previous editions, the 3rd edition of the LUCE Awards marks another milestone in advancing the Green Transition. In a world increasingly focused on achieving ambitious energy, climate, and sustainability goals, this edition reaffirms the critical role women play in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future.

With a continued commitment to promoting gender equality in the sectors of energy, climate, and sustainability—and proudly supported by Edison and Eurogas—the 3rd edition of the LUCE Awards celebrates the outstanding contributions of women driving innovation and progress in these fields. As we forge ahead on the path toward a greener tomorrow, this edition aspires to further elevate the voices and achievements of women who are pioneering solutions for a sustainable planet.

On 15 May 2025 in Florence, the LUCE Awards will celebrate the accomplishments of two women professionals, presenting a prize in each of the following categories:

Emerging Talent (applications are closed for the 2025 edition)

Legacy Women (public vote is closed for the 2025 edition)

The event will feature a keynote speech by Tom Howes, an expert panel titled “Just” energy transition, does gender matter?, and the awarding ceremony.

The LUCE Awards will be preceded by the 7th meeting of the Equality Platform for the Energy Sector, taking place in the morning of 15 May. Led by the European Commission, the meeting will bring together all actors involved in the Equality Platform activities – Directorate-General for Energy representatives, Platform members, signatories and project partners.

Participation in the meeting is limited to Platform members. For more information or details on joining, please visit the Platform’s webpage.
