NTUA

European Researchers’ Night is a public event organized across Europe aiming at bringing researchers and their work closer to the broad public while raising the interest of young people in science. Research conducted in universities and research centers is showcased in an easy- to-understand and creative way pointing out its impact on our daily lives. Also, this event allows for the communication of researchers from diverse fields broadening their further collaboration.

The workshop is being organized by NTUA and DAIKIN, and will feature a panel of five expert speakers who will showcase an innovative renewable energy system based on a novel heat pump-based configuration. This system is capable of providing space heating, space cooling, domestic hot water (DHW), and electricity, while meeting the heating and cooling demand and variable electricity demand of a building in a cost-effective manner suitable for various building types and sizes without any geographical restriction.

The event was the – biennial organized- international conference focusing on the subject of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Power Systems. In particular, multiple parallel sessions were held, in which several scientific and industrial papers were presented, along with a poster session. The conference included a European corner, hosting scientific projects funded by the European Union, oriented towards ORC systems and energy efficiency, in general.

The Conference provides a platform for participants to showcase their latest research findings and engage in discussions revolving around the performance, economic viability, and environmental impact of energy systems.

A hybrid event (physical and virtual) - Sustainable Places is a conference held every year dealing with all aspects of sustainability.  The scope of Sustainable Places is captured directly by its name. It involves designing, building and retrofitting the places we live and work in a more sustainable way.
