The COST Action Positive Energy Districts European Network convened in Linz, Austria, to hold its final conference. The theme was ‘Energising Neighbourhoods: Reflection, Dialogue and New Perspectives’ and we were hosted by the beautiful City of Linz during 2-3 September 2024. The closing conference was jointly organised by the COST Action PED-EU-NET and the City of Linz. It brought together researchers, practitioners and policymakers to reflect on the PED development across Europe to date and to discuss the opportunities, challenges and emergent pathways moving forward to 2025 and beyond. The Final Event showcased the Action results from the past four years of collaboration. The conference attracted around 100 in-person participants from PED-EU-NET, our network of collaborators, as well as stakeholders in Austria. Five short videos capture some key highlights and insightful reflections from participants.
