5TH SCCER CREST ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The Future of Energy.

Our energy system is in transition. Every transition needs a vision. A vision of how society and

economy will work in the future.

How will we use energy in 2050? How will it be supplied? And what is needed to get our society

there?

The 5th SCCER CREST Annual Conference is dedicated to finding answers to these questions.

Experts from research and industry as well as young researchers will present their views on

particular aspects of our energy future. In addition to the plenary program, researchers from the

different CREST work packages and joint activities will present their current research and discuss

their results.

We look forward to welcoming you on September 12, 2018 at the University of Basel.
