Our webinar series on the ‘Transformation of Industrial Energy Systems’ has been successfully concluded. In concise pitch sessions, the full scope of international research collaboration in the field of industrial energy technologies within the framework of IEA IETS was presented. It became clear that solutions for a decarbonised industry have long been in the starting

How different are the framework conditions for hydrogen in Austria, Slovakia and Hungary really? It was precisely this question that took centre stage at the ELEVATEcee Best Practice Workshop #2, held as part of the ELEVATEcee Working Conference #2 on 3 May 2026 in Győr. One thing became particularly clear during the workshop: Regional differences

How can flexible electricity consumption and generation assets (ranging from electric vehicles and heat pumps to data centers) be managed in such a way as to relieve pressure on electricity grids, better integrate renewable energy and enable new, economically viable utilisation pathways? This is precisely where ACTIVATE comes in: the project is developing an AI-powered,

On 18 June, around 60 experts from industry, the energy sector, research and public administration gathered at the OÖ Nachrichten Forum in Linz for the first stakeholder workshop of the FutureHeatHighway (FHHW) project.
