Du 18 au 20 novembre 2026 se tiendra à Vienne (Autriche) la 23e conférence internationale sur les centrales hydrauliques, Viennahydro 2026, sur le thème «Shaping vision for sustainable hydropower».

The Clean Energy Transition of the European Union requires an integrated, long-term vision that balances climate ambition, energy security, market dynamics, and environmental protection. Hydropower, Europe’s largest renewable electricity source, plays a critical and evolving role in this transition, particularly in enabling system flexibility, storage, and resilience toward 2050.

This conference aims to shape a political and strategic vision for hydropower’s role in the EU’s Clean Energy Transition, fostering dialogue between energy, environmental, and market actors. It provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange between researchers, policymakers, industry representatives, and civil society.

Viennahydro 2026 plays a crucial role in bringing the outcomes of this dialogue to the scientific community and beyond, ensuring that research-based evidence, policy insights, and best practices are disseminated widely and contribute to informed decision-making at European and international levels.
