New Energy Forum Scientific Research Conference
Join us for the very first dedicated NEF Scientific Research Conference, hosted by the New Energy Forum. After successfully integrating research into the main event in previous years, we are now giving it the stage it truly deserves: a focused, high-quality conference showcasing the latest insights and innovations.
The conference will take place at the Energy Academy Europe and will feature 19 inspiring contributions. From 12:00 onwards, you’ll experience a dynamic programme, closing with networking drinks at 17:00.
The topics span a wide and exciting range, including biogas, disinformation, employer branding, and mobility. This diversity ensures a rich programme full of fresh perspectives and meaningful discussion.
All contributors will submit a short paper, which will be published in an exclusive conference book. This publication will be shared with visitors of both the Scientific Research Conference and the New Energy Forum, giving the research lasting visibility.
