The EPE 2025 conference will take place in Paris, France, from the 31st of March to the 4th of April 2025, where participants will gain detailed insights into the state of the art of power electronics and its applications, and enjoy the exchange with other enthusiasts from all over the world who are interested in this highly relevant and constantly growing area.
The 26th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications will be organized in cooperation with the GDR SEEDS, the Groupement de recherche Systèmes d’énergie électrique dans leurs dimensions sociétales (Research Group Electrical Energy Systems in their societal dimensions). We are looking forward to host the community of power electronics in France for the fifth time.
On Monday, March 31st, several tutorials will be organized, and some exciting technical visits are planned for Friday, April 4th.
The conference will take place at the La Villette Congress Center, part of the magnificent Cité des sciences et de l’industrie.
