The 19th International Symposium on District Heating and Cooling

This 19th International Symposium on District Heating and Cooling – organised by VITO and EnergyVille in Genk, Belgium –has several aims: it aims to explore the development opportunities and issues in the district heating and cooling (DHC) industry, to share innovative research results, and to promote international technical exchanges to achieve green, efficient and smart development of the global DHC industry.

The detailed programme will be published in the weeks leading up to the 19th International Symposium on District Heating and Cooling.

The organisation welcomes initiatives for setting up special sessions, provided they align with the conference’s scope and are practically feasible. For those special sessions, the initiators are responsible for selecting the presentations, independent of the general selection procedure of the conference. 

Call for abstracts is open

Researchers, Masters and PhD students are welcomed to submit an abstract for presentation of their research during the Symposium.

The abstract will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee of the Symposium, consisting of experts of all IEA DHC member countries.

Authors of accepted abstract will be invited for both oral or poster presentations, and for full paper submission.

After review, accepted papers will be published in an Indexed Scientific Journal.
