The transition toward integrated, sustainable, and flexible energy systems requires moving beyond traditional siloed infrastructures in electricity, heating, and transportation. Sector coupling unlocks significant potential by connecting these domains, but its successful implementation depends on advanced digital technologies, supportive regulatory frameworks, and coordinated planning. Addressing these challenges demands close collaboration between academic research and industrial practice to ensure that innovative concepts can be effectively translated into real-world solutions.

The DiGiSect Expert Workshop — Design and Operation of Digitalized Sector-Coupled Energy Systems — is designed to strengthen this connection. Bringing together researchers, industry experts, and decision-makers, DiGiSect provides a dedicated platform to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging digital tools, and explore practical approaches for the design and operation of sector-coupled energy systems. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation, the workshop aims to accelerate progress and support the development of resilient, efficient, and future-ready integrated energy networks.
