PAE-e-green Days 2026

Tomorrow in E-motion: two days on sustainable electromobility.

As part of the Interreg project PAE-e-green, scientists, policymakers, industry associations and, above all, companies from the automotive sector and its supply chain met at Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld. The focus was the entire electromobility value chain – and it fitted our symposia perfectly: reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycling were one of four topics.

The PAE-e-green Days were organised in the Interreg Greater Region project PAE-e-green, co-funded by the European Union.
