8th workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures

Since its inception, ESSRI has provided a unique forum for scientists, engineers, infrastructure managers, policy makers, and industry representatives to exchange ideas and experiences on energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact of large-scale research infrastructures. Building on this solid tradition, ESSRI 2026 will identify the technical, strategic, and operational challenges that must be confronted in order to design and implement truly sustainable research infrastructures. The conference will provide a forum for sharing experiences on emerging energy-efficient technologies, innovative approaches to energy management, current project practices, and life-cycle assessments, while also opening the floor to discussions about future directions and evolving global needs.
