Smart Systems Conference, November 18–19, 2026

At the Smart Energy and Systems symposium, renowned speakers from science and practice will discuss the future of digitalization, artificial intelligence and energy supply. The focus will be on technical developments and their economic and social implications.

The Smart Systems Conference evolved from the “Smart Energy and Systems” symposium, which was first held in 1999, and has since become a staple of the Fachhochschule Dortmund’s annual event calendar. Featuring renowned speakers from academia and industry, it plays a key role in advancing the topics of “digital transformation, artificial intelligence, smart mobility, and energy supply.” The conference highlights technical developments in science and research as well as the economic and societal implications of innovative energy supply systems.

The conference is primarily aimed at senior executives and specialists from the fields of energy and the environment, the automotive industry, smart homes/buildings, and neighborhoods, as well as companies in the ICT sector, academia, and research. It also provides interested master’s students enrolled in the RMS program with the opportunity to engage in dialogue with company representatives and future employers; this can lead to joint projects, whether in the form of student projects or collaborative research initiatives.
