Industry and research are facing a monumental task: the decarbonisation and decentralisation of our energy systems. The biggest hurdle is no longer just the hardware – the real challenge lies in the software, data processing, and system architecture. The energy transition is increasingly becoming a computer science project. To discuss the latest IT-based solutions, methods, and algorithms for the energy systems of tomorrow, we warmly invite you to the 15th DACH+ Conference on Energy Informatics:
Date: 21-23 September 2026 (in-person event)
Location: Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, Science Park 1
Conference language: English
Conference website:https://energy-informatics2026.org/
Early Bird Tickets: till 31st July 2026
Einladung: hier
Why it’s worth attending:
The conference provides the ideal platform for linking in-depth IT topics with the energy sector.
- Technological highlights: Discuss the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, cybersecurity in the smart grid and decentralised control architectures.
- The transition from research to practice: A conference such as Energy Informatics offers insights into new digitalisation technologies and highlights which AI applications are already in productive use today, which are proving economically viable, and which skills companies need to develop now.
- The chance to discover talent and help shape the future: Take the opportunity to meet the industry’s most promising talent and discover new potential for your company.
- Academic depth and networking: Exchange ideas across disciplines between academia, industry, and service providers in the DACH region and beyond.
- Practical technical workshops (21 September): Gain direct insight into new tools, methods, and programming approaches.
Brief overview of the programme:
- Monday, 21 September: Technical workshops (practical insights, hands-on experience with tools and discussions on methodologies).
- Tuesday, 22 & Wednesday, 23 September: Main conference featuring scientific sessions on smart grids, the resilience of energy systems, sector coupling, and data management.
Take this opportunity to bring algorithms and IT architectures to where they are currently needed most– into the critical infrastructure of our energy supply. Secure your knowledge edge and register for an early bird ticket by 31 July 2026. The number of participants is limited for organisational reasons.
