Staging area 1
This staging area is intended for potential contributors. Please feel free to edit and update the description of your intended in person contribution as your ideas evolve. Some of the entries listed here may still be at an early stage of development. Not all suggestions will necessarily be selected or developed into lightning talks or presentations.
The deadline for submitting your potential contribution is March 31st 2026. After this deadline passes, the organizing group will screen the suggestions and develop the final program.
This is a wikipost that anyone registered with the forum can edit. You are encouraged to add your potential contributions directly here therefore. The order given is chronological downwards.
*Note also that the topics and postings on this forum related to this event will be reorganized as the content builds. So just be aware that some URLs will break going forward.
Lightning talks:
Each lightening talk consists of a 6 minutes presentation followed by 4 minutes of Q&A. Profile your favorite project, tool, data, research findings, etc
When adding your lightening talk contribution, it should look something similiar to the following example post

title : Using a global energy system model for a detailed country study
presenter : Martha Frysztacki (Open Energy Transition)
description : This presentation introduces a case study applying PyPSA-Earth for an energy transition study in Kazakhstan. We will show how we tailored a global open energy system model with high spatial and temporal resolution data to the specific country’s requirements. The novel approach avoids the time-consuming creation of models for every country and fosters collaboration, addressing the challenges of the energy transition together. Extended from this paper in Applied Energy .
