ISES and IEA SHC International Conference on Sustainable and Solar Energy for Buildings and Industry

ISES, the International Solar Energy Society, and IEA SHC, the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme, hosted EuroSun2026 - the ISES and IEA SHC International Conference for Sustainable and Solar Energy for Buildings and Industry, which took place in Freiburg, Germany from 14 - 18 September 2026. The organizers were especially pleased that the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, the largest solar research institute in Europe, joined the conference as its scientific host in collaboration with the renowned Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. Powered by this partnership, EuroSun2026 created a global forum for scientists, researchers, engineers, architects, city planners, and representatives from industry and business.

The conference also marked the 30th anniversary of the EuroSun conference series and a special solar homecoming, as the very first EuroSun conference took place in Freiburg in 1996.
