Vincent Bertrand

Vincent Bertrand is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Franche-Comté, affiliated with both the Faculty of Legal, Economic, Political and Management Sciences (UFR SJEPG) in Besançon and the Science, Technology and Management of Industry Faculty (UFR STGI) in Belfort. He serves as Director of the EDEN.i Network and is a core researcher at the Research Center on Economic Strategies (CRESE), a research laboratory established in 1985 at the University of Franche-Comté.

Dr. Bertrand's research focuses on energy economics, climate change economics, carbon markets, and electricity systems. His work spans theoretical and empirical analyses of energy markets, with particular attention to biomass utilization, carbon pricing mechanisms, and the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). His interdisciplinary approach combines applied microeconomics, econometrics, and simulation techniques to address pressing energy policy questions. His research trajectory demonstrates increasing sophistication in modeling approaches and growing policy relevance as global climate challenges intensify.

His publication record from 2012-2022 reveals a consistent focus on carbon market economics, with evolving attention to international market linkages and biomass utilization strategies. The research shows progression from foundational analyses of the EU ETS toward more complex examinations of international carbon market mechanisms under the Paris Agreement framework.

Dr. Bertrand actively leads research through the EDEN.i Network and collaborates with international scholars on energy transition issues. His work receives support from French research institutions focused on climate economics and energy policy. The EDEN.i Network provides a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration between academic researchers, policy makers, and industry stakeholders to address contemporary energy challenges through rigorous economic analysis.

As Director of the EDEN.i Network, Dr. Bertrand leads collaborative research efforts focused on energy economics and climate policy. The network serves as a hub for research dissemination, policy engagement, and international collaboration on energy transition challenges. His leadership role enables him to shape research agendas in energy economics and connect academic research with practical policy implementation needs.
