Join the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling community for a special evening celebration marking 50 years of international collaboration, innovation, and impact in solar heating and cooling. Held during EuroSun2026 in Freiburg, this anniversary event will bring together long-standing partners, researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and friends of the programme to reflect on five decades of progress - and to look ahead to the next era of sustainable heating and cooling. And while the evening will celebrate a remarkable 50-year legacy, it will also point toward what comes next. Guests can expect a first look at the future direction of the SHC community - with a major announcement on the horizon. This is a hybrid event and will be streamed via Teams. If you would like to join online, please email Ben Stinson, IEA SHC Secretariat at secretariat@iea-shc.org.
