Unite!Energy Conference 2025
The 2nd annual Unite!Energy Conference takes place on 10 October 2025 in Espoo, Finland – bringing together PhD researchers, industry and academia for a full day of exchange and innovation.
The future of sustainable energy is built on collaboration, across disciplines, sectors and borders. That’s why the Unite!Energy 2nd annual Conference invites PhD researchers, academic experts and industry voices from all nine Unite! partner universities to come together on 10 October 2025 in Espoo, Finland. Hosted by Aalto University, the conference follows the Unite! Dialogue and focuses on the future of hydrogen technologies and energy storage.
Showcase your work in a digital poster and pitch your research in a 5-minute Science Slam format, followed by interactive Q&A. This is your chance to share your findings, receive international feedback, and connect with peers and professionals from across Europe. Whether you're an early-stage researcher looking to present your work or simply want to explore cutting-edge trends in clean energy, this one-day event offers the perfect platform.
Professor Ignasi Casanova, coordinator of Unite! Energy from UPC, highlights that “joining the Unite! Energy Conference is a fantastic opportunity for PhD students: they’ll get to explore the latest research and industry trends, showcase their work freshly and engagingly, connect with peers and experts from European universities and the energy sector, and play an active role in shaping the future of clean energy.”
