SUSTAINABLE PLACES 2024 

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. SP2024 will be 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 will explore 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.

CONFERENCE 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.

This year we propose the following list of themes. These themes are non-exhaustive and proposals received on other topics related to sustainability will also be examined:

• Energy Communities, Smart Cities and Urban Transition
• Renewable Energy Technologies
• Sustainable Construction & Renovation
• Decarbonization & Circularity
• Climate Change mitigation and adaptation
• Facilitating the energy transition: Policy, Finance, Training
• Sustainable Urban Renewal & Cultural Transformation
• Digital twins, Smartness & Artificial Intelligence for Sustainability
• Resilience and Energy Security
