The 13th Swiss Symposium on Thermal Energy Storage will take place on 30 January 2026, under the theme:
"Heat happens — in buildings, industry, and across districts. But do we always know which storage solutions are the right fit?"
As electrification accelerates, the role of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is more relevant than ever — especially when viewed from the demand side.
This year’s edition of the symposium will shift the focus from technology-first to needs-first, exploring how real-world application needs can guide the choice of the most suitable TES solutions.
From industrial processes to buildings and district energy systems, we’ll look at how different types of thermal storage can contribute to making energy systems more flexible, robust, and climate-friendly.
Join researchers, professionals, and practitioners as we shift the perspective — from technology-first to needs-first and explore what role TES can play in an electrified future.
We extend an invitation to attend the Symposium in person at the picturesque Lucerne University of Applied Sciences & Arts. Furthermore, we will be offering an online streaming option for remote participation.
We look forward to your participation.
Registration is now open!
Best regards,
