The Future of Energy
The Future of Energy 2026
We are working on an exciting new program for our next conference. More information will be provided soon. Meanwhile, save the date: January 14, 2026. You can also register below to receive more information about the upcoming conference. We look forward to seeing you there!
Join our poster workshop and competition
Create. Present. Win!
As part of The Future of Energy conference, we invite master’s students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers to present their research in posters and compete for the Best Poster Prize, voted by the conference's participants! The winner receives two Interrail tickets!
The poster exhibition will take place in the foyer of Georg Sverdrup’s House. Each participant will stand by their poster and present their research to the conference audience, who will then vote via Slido. When casting their votes, participants are encouraged to consider content, clarity, design and presentation.
Workshop with the Digital Scholarship Centre
We will arrange a hands-on workshop prior to the conference to learn the essentials of crafting clear, engaging scientific posters on October 23, 13:00-15:00. Participants must bring a draft of the poster they intend to develop, as this will be the primary focus of the workshop. The draft can be in any format - digital (any software) or hand-drawn on paper - and does not need to be complete.
Please note: If you are not able to join the workshop, you can sign-up to the poster competition directly here.
Requirements
To join the poster workshop and competition, your research must cover one or more of UiO:Energy and Environment's main research areas. We have a limited number of spots available to present, so please provide a short description of your research. All submissions will be reviewed.
