The conference will showcase outstanding research in Europe, particularly from Saxony, Slovenia, Poland, and the Czech Republic, aiming to establish the region as a significant hub for science and technology. Under the overarching theme of "Net Zero" the conference will focus on forward-looking fields such as microelectronics, sustainable construction, hydrogen technology, and fusion.
Primarily targeting early-career researchers, the conference offers a platform to engage with representatives from politics, industry, and society. The event provides the opportunity to build a network across disciplines and borders within the scientific community, laying the groundwork for long-term international collaborations. It also allows the attendees to establish connections with key decision-makers in politics, industry, and academia.
Professor Benjamin Sovacool, Director of the Institute for Global Sustainability at Boston University, will deliver the keynote speech on the morning of May 28, 2024.
Another highlight of the conference is the panel discussion on the evening of May 28, starting at 4:45 PM, where Michael Kretschmer, the Minister-President of Saxony, will engage with government representatives from various countries and early-career scientists.
Interested participants are invited to secure their spot by registering now. Participation is complimentary.
This measure is co-financed by
tax funds based on the budget passed
by the Saxon State Parliament.
