Past editions
2022: The first TES Workshop organised under GS TES (previously hosted by SINTEF Energy Research) was held as a hybrid event, gathering 20 participants onsite and over 50 online. It marked the beginning of the Centre's efforts to engage both local and international TES communities.

2023: The workshop attracted more than 50 participants onsite and 50+ online. For the first time, international speakers were invited to present in Trondheim, expanding the event's global reach.

2024: Continuing its growth, the workshop maintained a similar attendance with 50+ participants onsite and online. The program featured a diverse lineup of international speakers and increased industry involvement.

This workshop not only serves as a knowledge-sharing platform but also plays a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of TES research and implementation in Norway and beyond.
