Invitation to the speed dating workshop “Resilient and sustainable power supply”

A future-proof power supply requires the integration of interdisciplinary research, innovative approaches, and an understanding of complex interrelationships. Whether it's about energy security during times of crisis, the expansion of renewable energy, storage solutions, grid stability, or societal transformation processes – resilience and sustainability have many dimensions.

In our speed-dating workshop, you’ll meet researchers who, like you, aim to think and work holistically. Through short, intensive conversation rounds, you’ll discover diverse scientific perspectives, methodological approaches, and research ideas—from engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, economics, and other relevant disciplines. The goal is to quickly build valuable connections, uncover synergies, and spark new ideas that can lead directly to joint research proposals.

Why participate?

  • Expand your network across disciplinary boundaries
  • Gain fresh inspiration for your research
  • Lay the foundation for interdisciplinary collaborations
