Symposium Applied Research in Energy Transition and Circularity

Under the theme 2030 and beyond, this symposium explores how practice-oriented research is already contributing today to the solutions of tomorrow. From system integration and energy hubs to circular construction, behavior, and bio-based materials: together we are building a resilient, sustainable society.

Location Avans University of Applied Sciences, Breda

Be inspired by top experts

Speakers such as Kim Poldner (Professor of Circular Regional and Economic Development, University of Groningen & Scientific Director CET, HvA) and Floor Alkemade (Professor of Economics and Governance of Technological Innovation, TU/e) will share their insights in keynote presentations.

Participate in parallel sessions full of practical knowledge

Join interactive sessions where you can explore new perspectives on energy transition and circularity. Meet colleagues, ask questions, and translate insights directly into your practice. More information about the session content will follow.

Discover and share during the poster presentations

During lunch, there will be an opportunity to attend poster presentations, where you can explore the latest applied research by students and teacher-researchers. This is the perfect chance to share ideas, meet colleagues, and start collaborations.

Want to present your own research with a poster? You can! Sign up via the registration form.
