What is FES Conference about?

we are delighted to invite our fellow colleagues to join us at the FES conference which will be held in Vaasa, Finland, from 12-14 June 2023. FES2023 is a golden opportunity to hear new research, ideas, and initiatives; as well as interact with key decision leaders in energy-related fields. Delegates make presentations and discuss various issues including intelligent and sustainable solutions for future energy systems. Thanks to the city of Vaasa as the Energy Hub of Nordic Countries, you will have the possibility to network with a broad range of representatives from the utility, product, consultancy, service, and business sectors of the energy industry.

The Future Energy Solution Days aim to bring together leading researchers, engineers, and industry experts from around the world to discuss and exchange ideas on the latest developments in future energy solutions. As a result, in addition to the conference, we will also be hosting workshops and industrial exhibitions.

Workshop

Gain up to 5 ECTS by participating in the hot topic workshops based on your interest: Batteries, Energy Efficient Buildings, Smart Cities, Electricity Markets, and a lot more (Click to learn more).

Exhibition & Matchmaking

A unique opportunity to network with peers and well-known industries, as well as showcase cutting-edge products and services.

Co-sponsored by IEEE

All papers will be published and indexed by the IEEE Xplore. The top papers will also be invited to IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications journal (Click to learn more).
