5th Expert Meeting of IEA SHC Task 72

We are pleased to announce that the 5th Expert Meeting of IEA SHC Task 72 will take place on 14 September in Freiburg, Germany, in conjunction with the EUROSUN Conference (https://www.eurosunconference.org/).

The meeting will be organized as a full-day working session dedicated to the development and evaluation of key performance indicators (KPIs), building on the discussions and outcomes of our previous expert meeting.

The agenda will begin with 2–3 introductory presentations highlighting the KPIs that have been developed and assessed within the Task. The remainder of the morning will be devoted to hands-on work in the individual working groups. In the afternoon, the groups will come together to exchange results, discuss common approaches, and work towards harmonizing the proposed KPIs.

To make the most of this collaborative workshop, we encourage all Task participants to join us in person in Freiburg. We look forward to a productive day of discussions and collaborative work.
