The Gemini Center on TES, formed by SINTEF and NTNU, will arrange a TES Workshop to gather researchers and stakeholders interested in the technology. Applications and opportunities for different types of TES (from low to high TRL) will be presented and discussed by relevant speakers from both research and industry, ranging from low to high temperatures and applications at industry, building and marine sectors.
