What conferences and events does ISES organize, such as EuroSun?

ISES (the International Solar Energy Society) organizes the EuroSun conference series and co-plans it with the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme. The ises.org site currently shows EuroSun 2026 as an upcoming event and reports that planning for EuroSun2028 is underway, with the call for expressions of interest for hosting it now closed. Around these conferences, ISES also runs webinars and publishes research and news through the Solar Energy journal and a regular column in pv magazine.

The EuroSun conference series

EuroSun is the event most clearly tied to ISES on the site. Two editions appear in the current listings:

The EuroSun2028 notice is useful if you are tracking where the conference will be held: the host-selection stage has already passed, so the next public information will be the announcement of the selected host and venue rather than a new call.

How the EuroSun hosting process works

The EuroSun2028 notice illustrates the pattern:

1. Call for expressions of interest — institutions signal interest in hosting.
2. Review — ISES and the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme assess the submissions (the site reports 5 were received).
3. Selection and announcement — the host is chosen and details are published.

If you represent an institution interested in a future edition, the practical step is to watch the ISES news feed for the next call rather than contact the site about EuroSun2028, whose call is closed.

Other events and activities listed on ises.org

Beyond EuroSun, the site's navigation and news feed point to several recurring activities:

• Webinars — listed as a standalone section in the site navigation.
• Solar Energy journal — ISES presents research from the journal, with volumes and parts announced in the news feed (for example, Volume 315, Parts 1 and 2, and Volume 314, Parts 1 and 2).
• ISES column in pv magazine — a monthly column; recent topics include electrifying everything and COP31 targets, very low-cost rooftop solar in African countries, and off-river pumped hydro storage.
• Blog posts and latest news — short updates on publications and society activities.

How to find current event details

The site's news feed is the most reliable place to confirm dates and locations, because the excerpts available here do not include venue or registration details for EuroSun 2026. To check:

1. Open ises.org and go to the Latest News section.
2. Look for posts tagged to EuroSun or the events section.
3. For member-only material, use the User login link in the site header.

Note that the site shows a login option but the available material does not state whether event pages, proceedings, or webinar recordings require membership. Treat access as something to verify after logging in rather than assuming it is open or restricted.

Choosing what to follow

• If you want to attend a conference: track EuroSun 2026 announcements on the news feed; venue and registration information is not in the current excerpts.
• If you want to host a future EuroSun: wait for the next call for expressions of interest, since the EuroSun2028 round is closed.
• If you want research rather than events: the Solar Energy journal announcements and the pv magazine column are the regular outputs.
• If you want ongoing updates between conferences: the webinar section and blog posts are the recurring channels.
