NGSE 9
Next Generation Solar Energy (NGSE) is an international conference series organized by the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energies (HI ERN) in December as well as a PhD-Postdoc series organized twice a month.
This year the conference (NGSE 9) will be held from 10th – 12th of December 2024 in Nuremberg, at the EnCN building in Fürtherstraße 250. On the final day, there will be a topic-specific workshop about the Emerging PV initiative. If you would like to attend, you can register below (limited space available).
If you need advice about travel arrangements etc., please contact the organizers directly.
