Climate and energy security is top of the agenda of policymakers around the world. Energy efficiency has received attention like no time before, but yet many policymakers fail to appreciate its full importance.

Climate change is no longer a theory in dispute: it will affect all of us. The energy systems in place in our societies are not sustainable – from the supply system to the smallest end-use gadget. There is room for improvement throughout. But any road towards a low carbon society will fail unless we apply the simple message – energy efficiency first!

While improving energy efficiency addresses many of these energy-related challenges, it is not enough. We must reduce our overall energy demand. We must better understand how we use energy and how we can change the ways we use energy on a national, regional and global scale.

The 10th eceee Summer Study provided policymakers, researchers, activists and professionals with evidence-based knowledge and the most recent insights in energy efficiency thinking and practices.

The Summer Study offers an opportunity for participants to work together to develop a new way forward. The collective experience embodied in this major European energy forum is a valuable guide for all those who strive to help decision-makers stop talking about saving energy and start delivering sustainable savings.

What is a Summer Study?

Since 1993, eceee's Summer Studies have advanced the frontiers in energy efficiency policy, research and implementation.

It provides a full working week of formal but yet straightforward sessions and informal meetings, wonderful climate and pleasant surroundings. Here, participants exchanged ideas in a relaxed but intensely intellectual atmosphere, had lively discussions and came up with creative ideas.

The heart of the Summer Study is the presentation and discussion of refereed papers in parallel panel sessions. Posters are presented in a session attended by all participants. Keynote speakers address plenary sessions and participants can organise informal sessions in the afternoons.

Participants value our events highly

Since 1993, each of the eight previous summer studies has received very positive partcipant evaluations (read more).
