Organised by
Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems (EIRES)

Welcome to Energizing Day, the event where innovation and forward-thinking collaboration take centre stage. Today marks a special occasion: the formal integration of the Center for Computational Energy Research (CCER) into the Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems (EIRES). This step strengthens our shared mission to accelerate the energy transition by bringing fundamental research to real impact in the complex challenges of tomorrow.

EIRES is known for its broad expertise in renewable energy research with communities focusing on the energy transition in the built environment or the greening of the process industry. With the integration of CCER, a specific focus area for computational energy research will positively impact our entire community and strengthen our material, device, and system scale research.
