Community Engagement Models & Multi-Sector SMR Applications in EU Member States During Nuclear Transition

●   Regional demand aggregation: Phasing out coal (Czech/Polish "Phoenix Initiative") & industrial energy use (data centers, hydrogen, chemicals), off-grid power, and aviation/shipping

●   UK, Romania's practice on decarbonizing AI data centers: current progress

●   Financial leverage: is the U.S. EXIM Bank’s loan model for Romania replicable?

●   Overcoming NIMBYism in SMR siting: turning opponents into stakeholders

●   Energy democratization in SMRs: how can communities, industry, and policymakers jointly develop the roadmap?

●   New business models to implement nuclear
