Time: 5 July 8:30-18:00
Location: Donners Plats 3, Visby, Sweden
After two summers without any Almedalen week in place, it feels great to come to Visby and showcase us. Ephi has existed for just over a year, but now it is starting to take off.
On Tuesday, we have a packed programme starting with a breakfast discussion with Lena Andersson on what to eat? Later in the day, we take a deep dive into everything from how we get enough power grids for Sweden's electrification transition to China's role in climate change. Of course, we end the day with a real Almedal mingle where we get the chance to meet new contacts in a more relaxed setting and to solve the world's challenges as best we can in the meantime. If you would like to attend the mingle, please register..
We are located in the middle of the action at Donners Plats 3, which could be called the EPHI centre of the Almedalen week, right?
The full programme can be found below but changes may be made so please check ephi.se for the updated programme.
A warm welcome!
