Cities play a pivotal role in addressing the global energy-material nexus fueling the climate crisis. As centers of innovation and change, urban areas offer unique opportunities to redefine sustainability through diverse visions and dynamic solutions. The upcoming "Urban Futures Symposium: Trends, Challenges, and Innovations" will explore these critical themes, focusing on the latest strategies, technologies, and thought paradigms driving urban resilience and decarbonization.

This symposium aims to bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange insights and foster collaborations that will shape the urban landscapes of tomorrow.

Organized by the Urban Energy Systems Laboratory on the occasion of our 10th anniversary, the symposium underscores our commitment to pioneering strategies, solutions, and methods that support the development of decarbonized, resilient, and equitable urban energy systems.

We look forward to welcoming you at Empa in 2025!
