Welcome to this Oslo Science City Arena event hosted by the University of Oslo. Together we build the future of energy. 

The energy system of the future is built on green energy and digital solutions. It requires new collaboration across sectors and disciplines. We invite you to join the leading voices shaping these discussions – in Oslo, Norway, Europe and beyond.

The conference is held at the University of Oslo, in the heart of Oslo Science City.

Program

Day 1 develops our understanding of four key challenges for the green and digital energy transition - the solutions to which enable the energy systems of the future.

First: Accelerating a massive scale-up of renewable energy. Second: Storage capacity and flexibility to tackle more variable energy production. Third: The future power grid is increasingly complex, demanding balancing acts and optimization. Fourth: The future of energy must be built for the people to meet societal needs.

Day 2 is dedicated to learning from green and digital transitions in different settings - building our communities.

The first session focuses on cities as key to green and digital energy solutions. Session two discusses a future Ukrainian energy system - which will be rebuilt on green and digital solutions.

You will meet leading experts from industry, research and academia, providing insight and charting pathways forward - from research to knowledge in use. Join us and help shape the future of energy - green and digital.

Day 1: Key Challenges of the Green and Digital Energy Transition

Building our green and digital energy system – four sessions and four challenges.

Day 2: Building Communities

Cities as key to green and digital energy solutions, and a future Ukrainian energy system.
