Abstract submission for ENTRUST 2027 Conference is now open. Researchers, doctoral students, and young scientists are invited to submit their abstracts and participate in the conference, which will take place on 11–14 May 2027 at the Lithuanian Energy Institute in Kaunas, Lithuania. ENTRUST will bring together researchers, young scientists, innovators, industry professionals, and policy makers to explore energy security and economic competitiveness in Europe.
Abstracts must be prepared in English and should briefly present the research focus, methodology, key results, and main conclusions. The abstract length is limited to 2,500 characters and must follow the official submission guidelines. All abstracts must be submitted by 31 January 2027 via the designated online submission form which can be found HERE.
Towards a Secure Energy Future for Europe
The second ENTRUST 2027 Conference is an official event of Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2027. Closely aligned with the Presidency’s priorities, ENTRUST 2027 will provide a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on how Europe can turn energy challenges into opportunities for innovation, economic growth and long-term resilience.
“Energy systems operate over decades and extend beyond national borders. Therefore, the technological and regulatory decisions shaping their development and operation must be long-term and grounded in reliable research. These decisions should ensure a secure and reliable energy supply at affordable prices for all consumers – households, businesses and industry. This is essential both for people’s well-being and for business competitiveness.
The need for long-term, research-based energy solutions is driven by ongoing changes in Europe and around the world: advances in energy generation technologies, the development and deployment of new, more efficient and sustainable solutions, the modernisation of energy networks and systems, the restructuring of energy supply chains, and the growing importance of energy security and system resilience. These developments present significant challenges for research and industry, requiring new technologies, the improvement of existing ones and their effective implementation in practice.
The international ENTRUST conference provides a platform to address these challenges. Its programme covers research in energy generation, energy networks and systems, energy security and resilience, the circular economy, metrology, industrial technologies and dual-use technologies. All these fields share a common goal: to transform research findings into practical technological solutions and develop regulatory frameworks that ensure their safe, reliable and effective deployment and use”, says Prof. Dr. Saulius Gudžius, Conference Chair and Director of the Lithuanian Energy Institute.
Continuing the Tradition
The first international ENTRUST Conference took place on 8–11 September 2026 at the Lithuanian Energy Institute in Kaunas. It brought together more than 260 participants from academia, business, and the public sector, with representatives from 15 countries attending the event.
Over four days, the conference focused on energy transformation and the solutions that are shaping the future of Europe’s and the Baltic region’s energy systems. The programme covered a broad range of topics, including the future of nuclear energy, energy security, critical infrastructure resilience, changes in energy systems and markets, electrification, decarbonisation, hydrogen and other emerging technologies.
ENTRUST 2027 will continue the tradition established by the first conference, providing a shared platform for dialogue among representatives of academia, business and the public sector to address pressing energy challenges and explore potential solutions.
