JP ES Raises Visibility and Drives Collaboration at ICSET 2026


The EERA Joint Programme on Energy Storage (JP ES) participated in ICSET 2026 in Palermo, Italy, providing an excellent opportunity to showcase its activities and engage with the broader energy research community.

JP ES was represented through a keynote presentation and a poster stand, both highlighting the programme’s mission to foster collaboration in energy storage. The contributions presented the Joint Programme’s ongoing activities, strategic objectives, and its role in bringing together experts from academia, research organisations, and industry to address the challenges of the clean energy transition.

Fostering Collaboration & Research Priorities

The conference offered a valuable platform to exchange ideas with researchers and stakeholders from around the world. Discussions focused on:

  • ● Current developments in energy technologies
  • ● Multidisciplinary collaboration
  • ● Future research priorities needed to support a sustainable and resilient energy system

Expanding the JP ES Network

A key objective was to increase programme visibility and attract new members. Through networking activities at the JP ES poster stand, participants had the opportunity to learn about the benefits of joining the Joint Programme and contributing to its growing community of experts.

By participating in the congress, JP ES strengthened its outreach efforts and reaffirmed its commitment to advancing cooperation and excellence in energy storage research and innovation across Europe and beyond.
