9th CPOTE Conference Special Session

The SET_HEAT project will bring the discussion on clean and resilient heat systems to the international stage during the Contemporary Problems of Thermal Engineering (CPOTE) conference, taking place 23–25 September 2026 in Kraków, Poland. CPOTE is a well-established scientific forum that brings together researchers, industry representatives, and policymakers working on energy and thermal engineering, with a strong focus on sustainability and the transformation of energy systems.

As part of the programme, SET_HEAT will host a special thematic session dedicated to the challenges and opportunities of decarbonising district heating systems and integrating renewable energy sources into modern energy infrastructure. The session will provide a platform to present project results, share practical experiences, and foster dialogue between academia, industry, and policymakers on how to accelerate the heat transition across Europe.

The conference is co-organised by the Department of Thermal Technology at the Silesian University of Technology (Gliwice) and the Faculty of Energy and Fuels at the AGH University of Science and Technology (Kraków), two leading academic institutions in the field of energy engineering. Together with CPOTE participants, the SET_HEAT session will explore innovative technical solutions, regulatory frameworks, and investment pathways needed to make the decarbonisation of district heating systems both feasible and scalable.

Researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders interested in the future of sustainable heat are warmly invited to join this dedicated session and contribute to shaping the next generation of energy systems.
