World Sustainable Energy Days 2018

28 February 2018 08:00 - 2 March 2018 17:00

Once a year AER member region Upper Austria becomes the world capital of sustainable energy. AER is a longtime partner to this event which focuses on clean energy and energy efficiency.

Clean energy in practice

Energy efficiency and renewable energy are key to boost the economic competitiveness of the EU, its member states, regions and individual businesses. Resulting economic growth provides jobs and the ability to invest in the further progress of the clean energy transition to the benefit of all citizens. Clean energy for economic competitiveness and how to make the clean energy transition work for business, planet and people will therefore be core themes of the World
Sustainable Energy Days 2018.

The event will feature policies, technology innovation and market development. It offers a unique combination of conferences and interactive events.

The annual conference brings together more than 700 delegates from over 50 countries from business, public sector and the research community.

An AER political delegation will attend the event as decided on the occasion of the Committee 1 Plenary meeting in London (see AER Action Plan). Politicians of AER member regions, who would like to represent AER at this event can contact the AER Coordinator for Policy and Knowledge exchange Johanna Pacevicius .

Call for contributions: Young Researchers

The World Sustainable Energy Days are organising a Young Energy Researchers Conference and Young Energy Researchers Award. Dedicated to the next generation of professionals and experts, two conference tracks present the work and achievements of young researchers in the fields of biomass and energy efficiency. As a region, you want to make sure young researchers in your region get visibility and recognition. This is their opportunity to shine!

  • Call for papers – deadline: 10 October 2017
    Young researchers (born after 1982) are invited to submit contributions by 10 October 2017 at www.wsed.at/call. Submissions are welcome from all scientific fields. A high-level scientific committee selects papers for oral and poster presentation. Visit our website for detailed information.
  • Awards “Best Young Energy Efficiency Researcher ” and “Best Young Biomass Researcher”
    The best contributions will be honoured with the awards “Best Young Biomass Researcher” and “Best Young Energy Efficiency Researcher”. The researchers will each receive 1,000 Euro as prize money. The winners will be selected from the oral presenters.

The organiser covers the costs of accommodation, meals, participation and local transport for up to 60 selected young researchers. Further information: www.young-researchers.eu
