Few spots remaining for the Research Infrastructure Automation Workshop!

Can digitalisation and automation improve research collaboration and accelerate experiments?

In this practice-minded workshop, we will address the way European research infrastructure services can help to support industry and researchers in accelerating the energy systems transition, and which tools enable the digital coupling of large-scale Research Infrastructures across Europe.

The workshop, hosted at PowerLabDK in DTU and co-organised by ERIGrid 2.0, RISEnergy, DERlab and NEST, will include insights from a great line-up of speakers from ISGAN SIRFN, OPAL-RT technologies, and many others.

The Workshop will take place in Roskilde, Denmark at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Risø Campus, starting on 24th September 2024 at 13:00 CEST and concluded on the 25th September 2024 14:00 CEST.
