New Energy Forum (NEF) is all about inspiring initiatives driven by a huge dose of courage. NEF’s 2025 edition was attended by over 1700
participants and contained, for the first time, an academic programme. Encouraged by its success, we will host a research programme on Energy & Mobility Transition. This year, however, because of its succes the academic programme will start already on the day before NEF 2026 (17 June) and ending at noon on 18 June. Attendants are then able to join the New Energy Forum event, that starts at noon on June 18th.

We encourage researchers and students from Universities and
Universities of Applied Science working around energy transition orthemes related to sustainable mobility to submit an abstract.

For the first time the Entrance Research Award will be given for
the best paper. An independent committee deciding upon this.

We invite you to submit an abstract (in English and max. 400 words) that matches one of the parallel sessions on 17 and 18 June.

The abstract should be received no later than 1 April 2026.

Before April 15 you will be notified on acceptance of your abstract. You will be asked to submit a full paper before 26 May 2026. Details for the full paper will be shared early March 2026. Abstracts and inquiries
can be send to:
