Congres Klaar voor Later 2026
TKI Urban Energy will take you on another journey in 2026 during the Ready for Later conference. We will look at stories. Hopeful stories in a chaotic, rapidly changing world. Stories that everyone interprets differently. And we will create our own story for the future.
We will take you on a day of reflection, inspiration and guidance. We will put you to work in various interactive workshops based on current developments in the energy transition. In addition, interesting speakers will take us on a journey on the “Klaar voor Later” stage.

Invitation to free Webinar – The Future of Energy Security in the Netherlands – Wednesday 21 January 2026
During this webinar, leading European scientists will present the key findings from the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) advisory report Security of Sustainable Energy Supplies. The report was written for European policymakers and provides an international perspective on the opportunities and risks associated with the energy transition. EASAC represents the national science academies of Europe (including the KNAW – Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen) and works fully independently, drawing on the expertise of scientists who contribute on a voluntary basis.
The event is aimed primarily at Dutch policymakers and senior researchers. Register for this webinar here: https://lnkd.in/eBYAnutt

Join the EnergyDay!
On 6 February 2026, Clara Caiafa, researcher at the Technology, Innovation, and Society (TIS) research group of the Eindhoven University of Technology will defend her PhD thesis on structural changes in a future hydrogen economy. To mark this occasion, we are hosting a special EnergyDays symposium.
Reimagining Europe’s industrial future: Global structural change for a climate-neutral and competitive economy
Industrial decarbonisation strategies in the Netherlands and Europe often rely on a substantial amount of green hydrogen being imported from developing countries with higher availability of renewable energy, while assuming that existing industrial production locations and trade patterns would remain largely unchanged.
However, the higher costs and emissions associated with the long-distance transport of electricity and green hydrogen may incentivize the relocation of energy-intensive industries closer to renewable energy sources. This “green relocation” can offer a more cost-effective solution for global decarbonization, but would affect regional economic structures and global trade patterns.
Strategic approaches may be needed in the Netherlands and Europe to achieve long-term resilience and competitiveness in a climate-neutral world.
