Over the past few decades, energy systems analysis has examined the energy transition from various perspectives, providing comprehensive insights into potential pathways. However, the practicalimplementation of the energy transition remains challenging in many areas and across diverse sectors.In the industry, heating, and transport sectors in particular, the transition to sustainable production andoperation is fraught with challenges, including social acceptance, significant cost increases, andalterations to value chains and user patterns.
The International Symposium on Energy Systems Analysis (ISESA)offers an international platform forexperts from various disciplines in the scientific as well as industrial community to discuss differentaspects of these implementation challenges.The event will address several issues in identifying thesehurdles and overcoming them, and these issues will be debated in an interdisciplinary context.
The symposium will carve out main bottlenecks for implementing the energy transition in all relevantfields. It addresses technical, economic, political, social, and related issues. Presentations shouldprovide concrete assistance for overcoming these hurdles and accelerating a reliable, resilient, andsocially accepted energy transition for different world regions.
If you are conducting research in these fields and are interested in interdisciplinary exchange, we inviteyou to contribute to our symposium by submitting an abstract (see details below) and participating inour discussions at the 2nd International Symposium on Energy System Analysis in Stuttgart, Germany.We are pleased to announce Prof. Dr. Michèle Knodt (TU Darmstadt) and Prof. Dr. Amela Ajanovic (TU Wien) as our keynote speakers. This year, the three German speaking chapters of the InternationalAssociation for Energy Economics IAEE (i.e. GEE, SAEE, and AAEE) are co-organizing thesymposium.
Selected topics include the following but are not exclusive. Contributions which combine topics are highly encouraged.
The abstract should be between 300 and 500 words. The corresponding author submitting the abstractmust provide complete contact details. Please use the template provided on our website and send it viaemail to info@strise.de before May 18, 2025. Authors will be notified of their abstract status by June15, 2025 including the invitation for presentation or poster contribution.
After the symposium, authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contributions in a special issue of a relevant scientific journal.
The symposium is scheduled to take place in-person on October 13 and 14, 2025 at the Zentrum für
Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), Meitnerstr. 1, D-70563
Stuttgart, Germany.
We are looking forward to receiving your abstract and welcoming your participation in October 2025.
