Important Information:

The workshop will welcome approximately 60 participants. Around 40 places will be allocated through targeted invitations and 20 places will be available through open registration. To ensure a balanced and interdisciplinary audience, registrations may be reviewed and selected by the organisers.

Without a targeted invitation letter: submitting a registration form does not automatically secure a place at the workshop; participation is only confirmed upon receipt of a confirmation email from 4TU.Energy (4tu.energy@4tu.nl)

Participation is free of charge. To make the best use of our limited capacity and budget, we kindly ask that you only register if you intend to attend. If your plans change, please cancel your registration at least two weeks before the event so your place can be offered to another participant.
