SDEWES INDEX
related metrics presents an opportunity to trigger policy learning, action, and cooperation to bring cities closer to sustainable development.
The 20th SDEWES conference, the 20th jubilee, was held from 5 - 10 October 2025 in Dubrovnik, Croatia and it has brought together 785 scientists, researchers, and experts in the field of sustainable development from 68 countries and six continents, out of which 670 attended onsite and 115 online.
We listened to 587 oral presentations and had the chance to see 95 poster presentations. There were 65 regular and 22 special sessions plus four keynote plenary lectures and three panels given by some of the most distinguished experts in the field.
This year we continued with the tradition within the onsite conferencing, by organizing the Project Exchange Event which aroused a lot of interest. 40 projects were presented, and many were interested in hearing about them.
We hope you were as happy as we were as we again had the chance to meet, mingle and share new ideas in person.
