Policy Conference

The Policy Conference is at the heart of EUSEW. Featuring dynamic and innovative sessions organised by the European Commission and energy stakeholders, these sessions focus on:

• Sustainable energy issues
• Highlighting new policy developments
• Best practices
• Innovative ideas 

In addition to the policy sessions, EUSEW will also feature networking opportunities during the Energy Fair and the EUSEW Awards, celebrating the people, projects, and initiatives advancing Europe’s transition to clean and sustainable energy. 

During the conference, the European Youth Energy Day will invite young leaders aged 18 to 35 to share their ideas for transforming Europe into the first climate-neutral continent.

The programme for this year’s EUSEW Policy Conference is now live! Get ready for over 60 engaging policy sessions, more than 30 interactive stands at the Energy Fair, and the sixth edition of the European Youth Energy Day. Don not miss your chance to be part of Europe’s biggest event dedicated to sustainable energy!

The EUSEW Policy Conference is held annually onsite in Brussels (at the European Commission’s Charlemagne building and the Martin’s Brussels EU Hotel) and online. The 19th edition of the Policy Conference will take place on 10-12 June 2025, and registration to attend is now open.

Attending in person offers the best opportunity to network with industry leaders. We encourage everyone to join in Brussels to fully engage in the insightful policy sessions and the  Energy Fair.
