FfE-Energietage
We have been organizing the FfE Energietage every two years for nearly 50 years—since 1977, to be precise. What started as a platform for young scientists has evolved into a key institution for exchanging ideas, solutions, and research in the German energy industry. This year, we celebrate a special milestone: the 30th FfE Conference will be held as part of the Energy Days 2025 in Munich.
When: May 13 – 15, 2025
Where: Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BAdW), Alfons-Goppel-Straße 11, 80539 München
May 13, 2025 – Industry Day “Transformation in Challenging Times” in cooperation with the vbw – Die bayerische Wirtschaft
We address the challenges of industrial transformation in a world of increasing economic uncertainty. In cooperation with vbw (Vereinigung der Bayerischen Wirtschaft e. V.), we bring together leading experts from business, science, and politics to discuss strategies, technologies, and regulatory frameworks that enable a competitive and climate-neutral economy.
Inspiring keynote speeches, high-level panel discussions, and valuable networking opportunities provide the ideal platform for practical knowledge exchange and meaningful dialogue.
