eceee 2026 Summer Study

Since the first traditional eceee Summer Study was held in 1993, this biennial, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral conference has developed into the most important energy efficiency event in Europe. It is here the trends of our future policies can be spotted first.

The Summer Studies are the backbone of eceee's ambition to deliver comprehensive evidence-based information on all aspects of energy efficiency. The Summer Study offers a mix of quality peer-reviewed paper presentations (see eceee's proceedings library), informal sessions set up by participants on the spot, inspiring keynotes and just plain round-the-clock networking. All is fuelled by the energy of hundreds of participants who are passionate about energy efficiency and want to learn and share experiences.

Participating in the Summer Study is great for networking, regardless if you are looking for clients, need an intensive course in the subject, need to discuss a project or are about to recruit qualified staff in a sector where demand for competent experts is greater than the supply.

Here, about 400 participants from industry, energy suppliers, governments, research, consulting, and the NGO sector meet to formulate tomorrow’s energy policies.

Several experts from the Öko-Institut will be attending the conference, giving presentations, leading poster sessions or taking part in panel discussions.
