Programme
The preliminary programme is shown below:
The detailed programme will be published here in the weeks leading up to the 19th International Symposium on District Heating and Cooling.
In the meantime, however, the organisation welcomes initiatives for setting up special sessions, provided they align with the conference’s scope and are practically feasible. For those special sessions, the initiators are responsible for selecting the presentations, independent of the general selection procedure of the conference.
For more information on the organisation of these special sessions, please contact the organisation on IEADHCSymposium2025@energyville.be
