EI.A 2026 is designed for researchers who seek more than a paper presentation. The conference offers a focused academic environment where energy related research, digital methods, and institutional feasibility are discussed together, rather than in isolation.

​

What makes EI.A 2026 distinctive is its discussion-centered single-track format, which prioritizes depth of exchange over parallel sessions, enabling authors to receive substantive feedback and engage directly with peers, session chairs, and keynote speakers. Accepted papers are published through pre-conference LNCS proceedings, ensuring early visibility and timely dissemination.

​

EI.A 2026 is co-hosted with the Summer School in Energy Informatics 2026 (12–13 October 2026), which which addresses how climate constraints, digital energy methods, and institutional feasibility are connected in energy system research. While the summer school focuses on shared conceptual foundations and analytical perspectives, the conference provides a forum for presenting and debating advanced, original research, creating a rare and coherent academic continuum across the two events.

​

Beyond the conference days, EI.A 2026 is embedded in the Energy Informatics Academy, an international research community that emphasizes continuity, collaboration, and long-term impact. Participants contribute not only to a conference, but to an ongoing academic ecosystem shaping the future of energy informatics.
