1st Leuven Workshop on Probabilistic Methods in Energy Modelling
Join the 1st Leuven Workshop on Probabilistic Methods in Energy Modelling, Forecasting, and Optimisation at KU Leuven on 13 May from 10:30 to 12:30. This workshop brings together experts to explore how probabilistic methods can address uncertainty in the European energy sector. Participation is limited to 50 attendees, so early registration is recommended.
Who should attend?
This workshop is relevant for researchers, doctoral candidates, energy analysts, and professionals interested in advanced methods for dealing with uncertainty in the energy sector.
It will be particularly valuable for those working on:
- energy modelling
- forecasting
- optimisation
- demand flexibility
- operational decision-making
- uncertainty quantification in energy systems
What can you expect?
The workshop will explore how probabilistic methods can support better decisions in a rapidly evolving European energy landscape.
Topics include applications in:
- demand flexibility
- energy price forecasting
- operational decision-making under uncertainty
Participants can expect expert insights, academic exchange, and the opportunity to engage with speakers working on state-of-the-art approaches in this field.
