Sustainable Places 2024

Sustainability targets and climate change objectives cannot be met without addressing buildings and the built environment at the building, district, and urban scales, including our transport and energy infrastructure. Renowned for showcasing results coming out of the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme via the participation of cutting-edge research and innovation projects, the scope of Sustainable Places is captured directly in its name. It involves designing, building, and retrofitting the places we live and work in a more sustainable way.

Sustainable Places prides itself on being an ideal platform for the dissemination of research, the conduct of workshops, EU project clustering, and networking between stakeholders of all types. The 2024 edition was held from 23 - 25 September 2024.
