The #EUโs dream of #convergence faces a structural nightmare. As @vicenteroyuela.bsky.social, @anpanori.bsky.social & Lรณpez-Tamayo show, while the Nordics pivot gracefully into the future, Southern & Eastern hinterlands risk becoming the casualties of the twin #transition.

๐งต New Paper: The "Twin Transition" & Regional Attractiveness ๐ช๐บ
ow is the green and digital revolution changing where people choose to live and work in Europe? Our new paper in The Annals of Regional Science (2026) explores regional readiness across the EU.Read it here: rdcu.be/fbHUf ๐
What happens when you combine microdata, behavioural insights, and agent-based modelling?
In #MOBITWIN we built an #ABM to simulate how #mobility decisions may reshape #Europeโs regions during the green & digital transition.
The figure shows the architecture of the model ๐

I asked AI to turn one of our academic papers into an infographic.
This is the result ๐
Honestlyโฆ better than expected for such a complex topic.
Are we entering a new era of research communication?
