About the Conference
What is involved in transitioning from the sorts of big, centralized power plants and adequate grid infrastructure that have been installed, expanded and developed over decades, to digitized and decentralized generation units and grids increasingly fueled by renewables? The members of Merseburg University of Applied Sciences’ recently formed Energy: Digital & Decentralized Research Group explore this very question. As an interdisciplinary collective composed of social scientists, engineers, and computer scientists they wish to invite scholars, irrespective of disciplinary background, who are interested in the topic to participate in this Autumn 2025 conference, At the Intersection.
