The Rector of Graz University of Technology conveys his greetings.

Excerpt from the welcome message of the Rector of Graz University of Technology Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Horst Bischof for reading:

"
Europe’s energy sector is in the midst of a profound transformation. EnInnov 2026 addresses this development under the motto “ENERGIZING EUROPE – Innovations for a Sustainable Energy Sector” and provides an excellent platform for presenting and discussing the latest research findings and forward-looking ideas.

Sustainable energy systems require expert knowledge, holistic strategies, and strong networks. Research and innovation are the driving forces behind this transformation. TU Graz actively contributes to shaping this change through research and teaching in sustainable energy systems, climate protection, mobility, and digitalization, through initiatives such as the Research Center ENERGETICS, and through close cooperation with industry and the public sector.

My special thanks go to the Institute of Electricity Economics and Energy Innovation at TU Graz, the co-organizers and partner organizations, and to you, the participants, for your commitment. I wish you stimulating discussions, new perspectives, and many valuable connections.
