As the WeForming project approaches its completion, the consortium would like to invite you to join us for the WeForming Final Conference & Market Uptake Event to present three years of groundbreaking research in the grid-forming building framework.
29 September | 10:00–13:00 CET
The event will feature keynote guest speakers and three invited sister projects (METABUILD, DECODIT, and EVELIXIA). It will also showcase six WeForming pilots across Europe, demonstrating innovative approaches to grid-interactive districts, renewable energy communities, energy storage, electric mobility, power-to-heat, and multi-sector smart districts.
We will also explore the wider ecosystem needed to accelerate this transformation, with sessions on policy developments, energy data spaces, buildings as active nodes, and the replicability and market uptake of WeForming’s exploitable results.
