Europe is striving towards climate neutrality by 2050 鈥� a vision of an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. This goal is central to initiatives like the European Green Deal and the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050, aligning with commitments to global climate action as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
Pursuing a climate-neutral society presents an urgent challenge and a significant opportunity to foster a sustainable future for all. In this context, energy informatics plays a vital role in addressing the myriad challenges of the energy transition. It offers innovative solutions for the intelligent management and operation of energy systems and their assets, contributing significantly to this transnational effort.
The DACH+ Energy Informatics conference series is a joint initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the Austrian Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology, and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. They aim to facilitate the advancement of information and communication technologies in the energy sector by encouraging the participation of academia, industry, and service providers from the German-Austrian-Swiss (DACH) region and the broader international community.
Call for Paper
The conference provides a platform for sharing research and developments, promoting collaborations beyond the immediate neighbouring countries. We warmly welcome contributions from those globally engaged in the energy informatics field, fostering a diverse and comprehensive dialogue.
We call for high-quality, original papers that focus on the design, implementation, operation, and management of smart energy systems. This includes integrating intermittent renewable energy sources, enhancing energy efficiency through ICT, exploring market strategies and mechanisms for ICT-enabled energy systems, and examining decentralized, data-driven decision-making processes. Contributions can be theoretical or practical, addressing system design, implementation, or experimental studies.
The conference鈥檚 topics of interest are broad and include, but are not limited to, the aforementioned areas:
- ICT and Data-Driven Innovations in Energy Systems
- Future Energy Markets and Decision Support Systems
- Energy System Modelling, Data, and Software Innovations
- Smart Management and Analytics in Energy Systems
- Risk Management and System Resilience
- Sustainable Mobility and Energy Integration
- Smart Buildings and User-Centric Energy Solutions
- Policy, Regulation, and Cross-Cutting Issues in Smart Energy Systems
