Dear Colleague
We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the Spring Workshop 2022 of the EWG-BOR dedicated to the energy transition (www.uc.pt/en/org/inescc/org_scientific_events/BOR2022) to be held on the 11-12 April 2022 at the University of Coimbra, Portugal.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers, students and practitioners to share recent research, new developments and best practices on energy transition. The programme includes keynote lectures from experts from academia and industry, practical sessions, short presentations by participants, and discussions. Topics range from state-of-the-art methods and applications, including multidisciplinary approaches, modelling and decision support tools. We encourage participants working in behaviours and OR approaches on energy transition to submit their work.
Now that the pandemic is under control in Portugal, we believe that we have already safe conditions to have a successful two-day in-person workshop! Nevertheless, recommendations of the Health Authority will be followed at all times.
The official language of the workshop is English.
Looking forward to meeting in in Coimbra!
