Humboldt meets Leibniz
Emerging Topics in Energy Resilience and Transformation Research
05–07 September 2027, Herrenhausen Palace Hannover, Germany
What will be the energy of tomorrow? How can the energy transformation help to create a more sustainable wolrd? Reseachers from across disciplines and generations will discuss these and other questions in Hannover. Under the slogan “Connecting Talents Across Generations”, the networking event brings together Alexander von Humboldt Award winners and young researchers from Germany and abroad. The programme encourages interaction and includes scientific forums as well as opportunities for sharing experiences, networking and discussing topics relevant to career development.
Conference Topic 2027
The event will be dedicated to current research issues in energy resilience and transofmration research. Extensive interdisciplinary scientific collaborations within the key research area Energy research, close cooperation with the Energy Research Centre of Lower Saxony or ForWind, coupled with unique research infrastructure like th expanded Large Wave Flume, the Dynamics of Energy Conversion research building and the Test Centre for Support Structure have resulted in Hannover becoming a renowned and internationally visible scientific location for innovative energy research in recent years.
The availability of affordable, clean energy and climate protection are among the 17 sustainable developement goals adopted by the United Nations in 2016, with the aim of achieving them by 2030. The transformation of energy systems, of mobility and of the value chains for fuel materials towards the use of renewables energies is an important and central element in achieving these goals.
The symposium will cover the full range of discipline in energy resilience and transformation research. This includes, among other things:
- electrical engineering sciences
- chemistry
- physics
- economics
- societal and political aspects of the energy transformation
