Sustainable Places 2026

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and R2M Solution are delighted to welcome you back to Luxembourg in 2026! We look forward to seeing you at the European Convention Center Luxembourg for the first-ever winter edition of Sustainable Places.

Each year, Sustainable Places features topics that are shaping how we think about cities and the built environment. Across all editions, Sustainable Places is open to all topics related to building sustainability and most often reflect priorities described in the European Commission Societal Challenges and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

For SP26, we proposed the list of themes shown below. 

• Energy communities, smart cities and urban transition
• Sustainable construction and renovation
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation
• Facilitating the energy transition: policy, finance, training
• Sustainable urban renewal and cultural transformation
• Renewable energy technologies
• Decarbonisation and circularity
• Resilience and energy security
• Data centres, digital twins and artificial intelligence for sustainibility
