NGSE 11 and Sciprios Workshop coming soon

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.

This year’s edition (NGSE 11) will be held from 8th to 9th of December 2026 in Nuremberg, at the EnCN building in Fürtherstraße 250. The conference fee will be 50€. On December 10th, there will be a workshop organized by our spin-off company Sciprios.
