Invitation to the ALIGN4energy event 'Connecting Citizens and Systems'

Practical lessons for the energy transition

Date and time: Thursday 24 September, 12:00 – 17:00
Location: CRCL Park, Amsterdam

How can we better connect citizens, policy and energy systems in the transition to sustainable neighbourhoods? Over the past four years, the NWO research project Align4energy has brought together researchers and practitioners to explore this question.

During this concluding event, we will share the project's key findings, practical tools and lessons learned. Through presentations, interactive break-out sessions and discussions, participants will have the opportunity to exchange experiences, reflect on common challenges and explore how research can support more effective citizen engagement in the energy transition.

The afternoon offers plenty of opportunities to meet researchers and professionals from across policy, practice and academia, explore research posters and discuss future collaboration.

Morning program (in Dutch)

Before the afternoon programme, a Dutch-language interactive morning session will take place from 09:30 to 12:00 at the same venue. The session focuses on the practical challenges of engaging citizens in the energy transition, explores what still doesn’t work, and how we can improve it.

If you would like to attend the morning session as well, you can indicate this in the registration form for the afternoon programme.

This session is part of the research project Align4energy. Align4energy works on solutions to accelerate the energy transition in the residential sector. It does so by supporting citizens, policymakers, and energy system developers in synchronizing investment timelines, interests, and preferences.
