SUMMARY:11th Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue 2025
DESCRIPTION:📅 March 18-19\, 2025\nAround the world\, political ambition to accelerate climate action and to transform our energy systems is advancing: we are seeing record growth in sustainable energy sources\, which are projected to surpass coal as the largest source of electricity by the end of 2025. However\, this transition is taking place at very uneven speeds. We need to broaden the momentum to reach all regions of the world. \nCoordinated international action\, innovative approaches and effective financial support are key to achieving the objectives the world has set itself at COP28: tripling renewable energy capacity\, doubling energy efficiency and transitioning away from fossil fuels. With this in mind\, we must come together to share experiences\, showcase solutions\, and build alliances that will empower societies around the globe to a just transition to 1.5 degrees. \nTo this end\, the Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action are jointly sponsoring the 11th Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue organized by the German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE)\, the German Solar Association (BSW)\, the German Energy Agency (dena) and eclareon. \nWith around 40 country delegations and\, in total\, more than 2000 attendees from government\, business\, academia and civil society from over 100 countries in 2024\, the BETD is one of the premier international hubs on the global energy transition\, a forum where challenges can evolve into real-world solutions. In its 11th edition\, the BETD will continue this tradition of providing a platform on global energy transition\, even as it falls into the period of elections in Germany. It will put a special focus on how investment for the energy transition and green growth in emerging markets and developing economies can be mobilized. \n  \n📎 More information here: https://www.energydialogue.berlin/

SUMMARY:Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2025
DESCRIPTION:📅 29 & 30 April\, 2025\n📍 Amsterdam\nEurope’s leading event for CCUS\n\n\n\n\n​Carbon Capture\, Utilisation\, and Storage (CCUS) is a cornerstone of Europe’s strategy to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. As outlined in the EU Industry Carbon Management Strategy\, CCUS is essential for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as steel\, cement\, power\, and chemicals\, which must significantly reduce emissions to meet climate targets. The EU has set ambitious goals to capture at least 50 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 annually by 2030\, with targets rising to 280 Mt by 2040 and 450 Mt by 2050. With over 130 CCUS projects already underway across key markets\, including the Netherlands\, Norway\, Denmark\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany\, scaling these efforts will require robust policy frameworks\, strategic investments\, and the commercialization of the entire industry value chain. \nThe Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2025 (#CCES2025)\, set for 29-30 April at the KIT Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam\, is Europe’s leading event to advance CCUS development in the context of a new energy economy. Bringing together over 450 C-suite representatives from government\, industry\, and finance\, the summit will focus on the EU’s strategic priorities\, exploring regulatory frameworks\, technological innovations\, and investment strategies crucial for driving Europe’s transition to a carbon-neutral future. \n\n\n\n  \n\n📎 More information and register here.

SUMMARY:Quadruple Helix Foresight Workshop on future developments in Photo-Electrochemical Cells and sustainable energy security | SOREC2
DESCRIPTION:📅 May 8th – 9th\n📍 Residence Palace\, Brussels\, Belgium\nNovel Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) strategies are gaining traction as possible tools for mitigating C02 emissions in sectors of industry and transportation which has proven difficult to convert to other sustainable sources of power. The CINEA-funded Solar Energy to Power CO2 Reduction Towards C2 Chemicals for Energy Storage (SOREC2) project aims to develop one such CCU technology\, specifically a functional and scalable Photo-Electrochemical Cell (PEC). You can read more about the project here. \nThe future independence of the European supply of sustainable energy and chemicals is more important now than ever. External threats and trade wars risk disrupting European supplies. In this new geo-political context\, enmeshed within a sustainable transition\, strategic foresight is needed. Therefore\, the SOREC2 project is hosting a two-day Quadruple Helix Multi-Criteria Workshop on PECs and future applications of this technology\, to explore and overcome technological\, social\, and environmental barriers to its development and implementation. \nResearch and Innovation are iterative processes. As solutions for challenges are found\, new ones arise. Some challenges are solved through easy fixes or predictable steps in the development track. Others are different\, more severe in their reach and consequences. Therefore\, the purpose of this stakeholder workshop is to ensure that the respective societal and environmental consequences\, barriers\, and impacts of the SOREC2 PEC\, are identified and taken into consideration in its further development. Through\, facilitated exploration of and deliberation on a range of dimensions of the novel PEC technology\, stakeholders will help identify possible impacts\, barriers and opportunities of PECs. These dimensions include technical\, political\, environmental & planning\, as well as security dimensions. \nThe Workshop invites stakeholders from Science\, Policy\, Industry\, and Society\, in accordance with the Quadruple Helix approach to innovation. \nDemocracy x\, the hosts of the workshop\, will reimburse your expenses for travel and accommodation up to 550 €. We can only reimburse travels on economy class (EU regulation). If you are hindered from traveling because of sickness or health related issues a medical certificate needs to be provided for travel reimbursement. \nAll original receipts/invoices (from purchase of e.g. plane tickets\, train tickets and accommodation) must be enclosed in the reimbursement form.

SUMMARY:49th Materials Processes Applications Conference
DESCRIPTION:📅 October 6th – 8th 2025📍 Stuttgart\, Germany\nThe intricate interaction between materials\, processes\, and applications is the backbone of innovation and performance optimization. Materials must be carefully selected and designed to meet the specific demands of various applications\, considering factors like strength\, durability\, and thermal resistance. In contrast to their continuum mechanical models\, real materials have a real microstructure with imperfections\, anisotropy\, segregations\, discontinuities\, pores and residual stresses. \nThese result from the respective manufacturing process of the material or component and have a significant influence on the material behavior and structural integrity in safety-critical applications. This dynamic relationship among materials\, processes\, and applications is a key focal point in advancing several sub-fields in mechanical engineering\, with each element influencing the overall success of mechanical engineering endeavors. \n\nMaterials:\n\n\nAt the core of the MPA conferences attention lies the pivotal role of materials\, where they confront a host of complex challenges. While steel in various forms as austenitic or martensitic continues to play a crucial role\, evolving applications necessitate the use of other materials like nickel-based alloys\, titanium and high-strength aluminum. \n\nProcesses:\n\nAt the MPA seminar\, processes are not only understood as manufacturing processes in the classic sense. Instead\, complex load cases are also regarded as processes resulting from the application and having a decisive influence on the structural integrity and life time of components. \n\nApplications:\n\n\nApplications in materials and mechanical engineering vary widely\, each demanding specific attributes from materials and (manufacturing) processes. These requirements include specific strength\, creep resistance\, and the ability to perform in high and low-temperature environments. \n📎 Read more and register here!!\n  \n
