Welcome to Net-Zero Future
UPCOMING CONFERENCE
The Net-Zero Future 2026 Conference is a landmark international event focused on advancing research, innovation, and best practices to achieve a sustainable, net-zero, carbon-built environment. As part of the broader “Net-Zero Future” project, this third annual conference will be held in the dynamic city of Darmstadt, Germany, from September 30th to October 2nd, 2026.
PREVIOUS CONFERENCES
The previous Net-Zero Future Conferences in Oslo, Norway (2024) and Cape Town, South Africa (2025) marked the first two milestones of the initiative’s annual conference series. Both events brought together international researchers, industry experts, and practitioners to exchange knowledge on net-zero construction through keynote lectures, technical sessions, and vibrant social programs. The conferences fostered global collaboration, showcased regional perspectives, and laid the foundation for a growing international Net-Zero Future network.
NET-ZERO SCHOOL
The Net-Zero Future Schools take place annually, either before or after the main conference, offering students and early-career researchers an immersive learning experience in net-zero construction. The program includes lectures from leading professors, exclusive keynote talks, hands-on workshops, and social activities to connect and explore the host city together. Here, the next generation of researchers grows, preparing to shape a sustainable, net-zero future.
