Policy Conference

The Policy Conference is at the heart of EUSEW. Featuring dynamic and innovative sessions organised by the European Commission and energy stakeholders, these sessions focus on:

• Sustainable energy issues
• Highlighting new policy developments
• Best practices
• Innovative ideas 

In addition to the policy sessions, EUSEW will also feature networking opportunities during the Energy Fair and the EUSEW Awards, celebrating the people, projects, and initiatives advancing Europe’s transition to clean and sustainable energy. 

During the conference, the European Youth Energy Day will invite young leaders aged 18 to 35 to share their ideas for transforming Europe into the first climate-neutral continent.

The programme for this year’s EUSEW Policy Conference is now live! Get ready for over 60 engaging policy sessions, more than 30 interactive stands at the Energy Fair, and the sixth edition of the European Youth Energy Day. Don not miss your chance to be part of Europe’s biggest event dedicated to sustainable energy!

The EUSEW Policy Conference is held annually onsite in Brussels, and online. The 19th edition of the Policy Conference took place on 10-12 June 2025.

Attending in person offers the best opportunity to network with industry leaders. We encourage everyone to join in Brussels to fully engage in the insightful policy sessions and the  Energy Fair.

Whether you are an individual, organisation, or energy expert, the EUSEW Policy Conference is an event that offers multiple ways to get involved:

• Host a session: the Policy Conference is the stage for sharing new policy ideas, innovative technologies, and successful projects. While applications to host a session are now closed, we appreciate all submissions and look forward to engaging discussions ahead!
• Attend in Brussels: the Policy Conference is open to anyone who is interested in renewable energy and energy efficiency in Europe. The conference offers opportunities to learn from experts and network with leaders.
• Participate online: the event is hosted in a hybrid format, meaning you can attend online if you are unable to join in person. This format ensures access to many of the conference’s opportunities.

The EUSEW Policy Conference provides a unique platform for anyone looking to gain valuable knowledge, networking opportunities, and to contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy solutions across Europe. There are opportunities for a wide range of stakeholders in renewable energy, including organisations and individual experts, policymakers, professionals in the energy sector, business owners, start-ups, researchers.

If you are contributing to a clean, secure, and efficient energy system, then the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) is for you.
