SP 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 and EU Horizon Europe Framework Programmes via the participation of cutting-edge research and innovation projects, the scope of SP is captured directly in its name. It involves designing, building and retrofitting the places we live and work in a more sustainable way.
SP concept
SP 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. SP25 was held over three days in a hybrid (digital + in-person) event format. Between opening and closing keynote sessions, parallel technical sessions and project-organized workshops explored the various conference themes. Given world events we encouraged 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.
SP26 themes
Each year, Sustainable Places features topics that are shaping how we think about cities and the built environment. Across all editions, Sustainable Places is open to all topics related to building sustainability and most often reflect priorities described in the European Commission Societal Challenges and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
For SP26, we proposed the list of themes shown below.
These themes were non-exhaustive and proposals received on other topics related to sustainability were considered for acceptance.
Energy communities, smart cities & urban transition
Sustainable construction & renovation
Climate change mitigation & adaptation
Facilitating the energy transition: policy, finance, training
Sustainable urban renewal & cultural transformation
Renewable energy technologies
Decarbonisation & circularity
Resilience & energy security
Data centres, digital twins & artificial intelligence for sustainability
Sponsorship opportunities
We again welcomed and invited sponsorship at SP26.
For organizations looking to increase brand exposure and visibility to Europe’s top R&D performers, sponsorship offer an excellent mechanism to do that. Sponsors can enjoy excellent visibility, assistance with networking, the opportunity to exhibit and the opportunity to co-create moments that met their specific objectives.
