NWO-NERA Energy Symposium on Friday 7 February 2025.
The latest developments in the science of energy transition will be presented at the third edition of the NWO NERA Energy Symposium. Do you want to expand your network in the energy sector and keep up to date with inspiring science for the energy transition? Then come to Utrecht on 7 February!
With a congested power grid, geopolitical turmoil, and a changing political climate in The Hague (and elsewhere), the energy transition seems to be at a standstill. How can we re-energise the energy transition and what role does scientific research play in this? The theme of this edition of the NWO NERA Energy Symposium is therefore: ‘Recharging the energy transition’.
With inspiring presentations, workshops, and posters, the latest results are presented. Naturally, there is plenty of room to network with companies, policymakers, and scientists from various disciplines. All to answer that one question: ‘how do we get the energy transition going again?’
This symposium offers a platform for scientists from all disciplines involved in the energy transition. For companies involved in the energy transition. And for policymakers from all levels of government to share knowledge, inspire and inform, and network.
On behalf of NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) and NERA – The Netherlands Energy Research Alliance (NERA), we are pleased to invite you to the third edition of the NWO-NERA Energy Symposium.
Date: Friday 7 February
Time: 09:30 – 17:30
Location: Van der Valk Utrecht (Winthontlaan 4-6, 3526 KV Utrecht)
Registration for this free event is now closed.

Knowledge Day Very Low Temperature Heat and Cold Grids
What contribution can Very Low Temperature (ZLT) heat and cold networks make to the energy system of the future?
On 6 March 2025, NPLW, RVO and TKI Urban Energy would like to take you into the world of ZLT heat and cold networks. Perhaps it is a new topic for you, or you are already working on ZLT grids. At the end of this day, everyone will go home with a good dose of knowledge about ZLT and how to implement it in your local heat transition task.
During the knowledge day, several frontrunners will share their stories and lessons learned. You will gain insight into the advantages and disadvantages of ZLT grids, which types there are and which design principles you use. We will explain which business models are available and how to get an overview of the financial costs and benefits of ZLT networks. In workshops, you will answer your own questions about, for example, participation with residents and partnerships with suppliers. And of course there is plenty of room for questions and networking.

Open Energiedag 2025: zaterdag 20 september
The Netherlands is generating more and more energy from renewable sources, such as with wind turbines, solar panels, ground heat, heat pumps or from water. But how does generating renewable energy work? During the Open Energy Day, on September 20, everyone can come and see and experience for themselves how it works. All kinds of locations and projects will open their doors to visitors. Is your location also participating?
