The P4ELECS Co-Creation Days bring together experts from industry, education, research and policy to accelerate the development of skills, training solutions and innovation ecosystems for the electrification and energy transition sectors.
Over four interactive days, participants will co-create learning pathways, develop educational building blocks, explore laboratory infrastructure, exchange best practices and shape the future of workforce development in electrification technologies.
The energy transition requires a new generation of professionals equipped with the skills needed for electrified energy systems, smart grids, renewable energy integration and digital technologies.
The Co-Creation Days provide a unique opportunity to:
Location: Thor Park

P4ELECS has published the new WP8 Co-creating Skills Ecosystems report, Ecosystem Mapping – Interview Process Results: The Netherlands, which explores how the Dutch electrification ecosystem is evolving and where the main skills and implementation gaps remain.
As electrification accelerates across Europe, developing the right skills is more critical than ever.
On March 3rd at EnergyVille, Annick Dexters of KU Leuven will share her perspective in her talk “Educating Engineers and Technicians of the Future”, highlighting how education and industry collaboration can strengthen Europe’s power electronics ecosystem and support the energy transition.
From 1 to 5 December 2025, students from KU Leuven, RWTH Aachen, Riga Technical University, TH Köln and other partner institutions gathered at EnergyVille (Thor Park, Genk, Belgium) for the physical module of the P4ELECS course “Design and Reverse Engineering of Power Electronic Converters.” The intensive week marked an important milestone in delivering advanced, practice-oriented energy-transition skills to future engineers.
Policy makers, educators and industry experts from across Europe are set to gather in Arnhem this autumn for the P4ELECS Workshop Days, a high-impact event focused on the future of upskilling in the fast-evolving electrification sector. The event, scheduled for 30 September – 1 October 2025, will be hosted at HAN InnovatieLab@Connectr and HAN University of Applied Sciences.
