Pro-repair policies in the EU, France and Austria - Fixfest 2022
Channel: The Restart Project
Date: 2022-12-05

In this series of presentations at Fixfest 2022, we heard about a range of pro-repair policies that have been introduced across Europe. We started with the European Right to Repair Campaign, followed by two talks on national approaches: the French repairability index, based on a findings by French organisation HOP and the Austrian vouchers scheme to reduce the cost of repairs.

Presentations were followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Speakers:
- Cristina Ganapini, Right to Repair European Campaign (https://repair.eu/)
- Markus Piringer, Repair Network Vienna (https://www.reparaturnetzwerk.at/)
- Marcus Bergmann, PhD candidate ESCP Business School
