NGSE 10

Next Generation Solar Energy (NGSE) is an international conference series organized by the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energies (HI ERN) in December.

This year the conference (NGSE 10) will be held from 9th – 10th of December 2025 in Nuremberg, at the EnCN building in Fürtherstraße 250. The conference will include a topic-specific workshop about the Emerging PV initiative and a poster session.

A nominal conference fee of 50€ will be collected from all participants. If you need advice about travel arrangements etc., please contact the organizers directly. The detailed program can be found below.
