The "Energy Research Talks Disentis" are hold on a yearly basis and enable an international and interdisciplinary exchange between researcher on various energy subjects, thus making a valuable contribution to the energy transition. However, the target group of the events does not only consist of researchers and scientists. A broad audience interested in energy issues including private people and companies attends the conference.
The seventh edition of the "Energy Research Talks" took place from the 26nd to the 28th of January 2022 at the benedictine monastery in Disentis and online.
We invite you to send us your papers on the following subjects:
Markets, trade and finance
- Climate and decarbonisation, e.g. special developments in emissions trading (market stability reserve, linking the emissions cap to the expansion of renewable energies, etc.), electricity market
- Markets, market design, e.g. impact of European developments on Switzerland
Space and region
- Energy and regional development
- Regional scenarios and strategies for achieving the goals of the Energy Strategy 2050, taking into account different socio-technical framework conditions in Swiss cities, the Middle regions and Alpine regions.

- Sector coupling (including heat and mobility)
- Decentralised production (in alpine regions) of renewable energies, in interaction
- with storage facilities and hydropower
Energy and climate
- Energy transition in industry: new, energy-efficient and -flexible production processes and their integration into the supply structure of the futureHydropower, PV, wind power, biomass: new technologies
- Raw materials and the circular economy in times of energy transition and climate change
- Climate, decarbonisation
