KWW-Conference 2025 in Halle (Saale)

On June 26, at the major Conference of the Centre for Competence in Heating Transition (KWW) in Halle (Saale), the W-rob core team was represented. As part of a “heat transition sprint” presentation, we were able to present our project, our current work steps and key topics to an interested specialist audience. The KWW conference also gave us the great opportunity to follow many exciting presentations on topics relating to the transformation of the heat supply. These were very diverse, ranging from social aspects of the heating transition to questions about geothermal energy. The personal exchange with the many committed people from other cities and organizations was very enriching – the concentrated expertise at this conference was simply impressive. We were able to use this day to take away good ideas, deepen existing contacts and expand our network. A big thank you to the organizers for the successful event and the inspiring atmosphere!
