On 8 June 2026, the Energy Nexus Cluster brought together experts and innovators for the seminar “Synergies for a resilient and flexible energy system”, held in Brussels in conjunction with the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026.
The Energy Nexus Cluster is a collaborative platform connecting EU-funded projects working across the energy sector. Led by the GLocalFlex project, the Cluster creates a space for research organisations, technology providers and industry actors to exchange knowledge, explore common challenges and opportunities, and turn individual project results into a stronger collective impact.
The seminar showcased this collaborative spirit, with GLocalFlex, RESONANCE, ENFLATE, MASTERPIECE, STREAM, REEFLEX, STUNNED, BeFlexible and INDEPENDENT presenting key research findings and insights from their work.
Among the highlights was the presentation by Sohvi Virkkula from VTT, representing the RESONANCE and INDEPENDENT projects. She explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) can help automate the integration of energy systems and resources, supporting more efficient and flexible energy management in buildings.
