Conference Scope
Sustainability targets and climate change objectives cannot be met without addressing buildings and the built environment at the building, district and urban scale to include our transport and energy infrastructures. Renowned for showcasing results coming out of the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme via the participation of cutting-edge research and innovation projects, the scope of Sustainable Places is captured directly in its name. It involves designing, building and retrofitting the places we live and work in a more sustainable way.
Conference Concept
Sustainable Places prides itself on being an ideal platform for the dissemination of research, the conduct of workshops, EU project clustering and networking between stakeholders of all types. SP2022 will be held over four days in a hybrid (digital + in-person) event format. Between opening and closing keynote sessions, parallel technical sessions and project-organized workshops will explore the various conference themes. Given world events we encourage submissions on technology transfer, renewable energy implementations and energy security with the aim of facilitating actions that increase the rate of renovation and renewable energy implementations.
Conference Themes
Each year, Sustainable Places features topics that are shaping how we think about buildings and the built environment. Across all editions, Sustainable Places is open to all topics related to building sustainability and most often reflect priorities reflected in the European Commission Societal Challenges and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
For SP2022, the following list of themes are non-exhaustive and the conference program will be created according to accepted proposals received.
- Sustainable Construction & Renovation
- Smart Cities, Smart Grids and Urban Transition
- Digitalization, Smartness & Artificial Intelligence
- Facilitating the energy transition: Policy, Finance, Training
- Sustainable Urban Renewal & Cultural Transformation
- Renewable Energy Technologies
- Decarbonization & Circularity
- Resilience and Energy Security
Publication Opportunities
Non peer-reviewed technical papers (maximum 4 pages in length) are completely optional, can be submitted by any SP2022 contributor, and referred to as ‘conference papers’. The template for SP2022 ‘conference paper’ submissions will be available shortly. As a reference, please feel free to peruse the previous SP Proceedings editions from SP2021, SP2020, SP2019, SP2018, and SP2017.
The post-event book of Sustainable Places 2021 has just been released and is available here. You will find it in English and Italian and what it does is to narrate the two half-day workshops held in Rome at the EUR dedicated to “Ideas and Solutions for a Cultural Transition in the name of Smart Cities”. A similar post-event book will be produced for this new 2022 edition.

Gala Dinner at Le Negresco
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the SP conference we have arranged the gala dinner to be at Le Negresco hotel on the Promenade des Anglais. Le Negresco has been a quintessential monument of the French Riviera for over a century, owing its well-earned reputation to the hotel’s notable collection of artwork and period furniture with over 6,000 references. From salons dedicated to Louis XVI or Napoleon III to Venetian “Street Art” rooms, guests can discover a unique selection of French artwork from the 17th century to present day. The hotel has obtained the European Eco-label, “Living Heritage Company” certification , and is also recognised as a part of UNESCO “Nice Patrimoine Mondial”.
Every in-person registration comes with one gala dinner ticket included. We welcome guests of delegates to join the SP2022 gala dinner, extra tickets will be available to purchase on the conference registration page.
