Join us for the 7th edition of Sustainable Places! Europe’s #1 destination for dissemination of research and stakeholder engagement
Sustainability targets and climate change objectives cannot be met without addressing buildings and the built environment at the building, district and urban scale to include our transport and energy infrastructures. Renowned for showcasing results coming out of the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme via the participation of cutting-edge research and innovation projects, the scope of Sustainable Places is captured directly in the name. It involves designing, building and retrofitting the places we live and work in a more sustainable way.
Conference Concept
Sustainable Places prides itself on being an ideal platform for the dissemination of research, the conduct of workshops, EU project clustering and networking between stakeholders of all types. SP2019 will be held over three days allowing morning travel on the first day and afternoon travel on the third day. Between opening and closing keynote sessions, parallel technical sessions and project-organized workshops are held on conference topic areas. The venue is available all week (free of charge) for project meetings and side events.
Conference Topics
Each year, Sustainable Places features topics that are shaping how we think about buildings and the built environment. In this 7th edition of Sustainable Places will have thematic sessions on topics currently resonating in Sardegna this year.
