Workshop on European Research in Green Technologies and Impact Potential
Physical (conference cruise) edition August 24-26, 2026, Stockholm, Sweden.
This workshop is part of the “European Workshop Series on Research and Impact Potential”. This is a physical edition with focus on green technologies scenario. It is for researchers who want to position their European research and impact to support their career development. Participants present their research area related to green technologies and its potential impact. They receive structured feedback, become part of a research community with similar interest, and earn a citable presentation credit as a recognized merit.
This broadens your understanding in green technology research regarding European dimension and cross-field perspective in the European research landscape where technologies, EU funding and impact priorities are heading. Hearing how researchers from other green technology fields frame their work and its impact potential gives you new perspectives on your own career positioning and impact thinking.
You learn from each other.
You grow your own case stronger.
| Each presenter has 10 minutes to present their research area and its impact potential, followed by 10 minutes of structured peer feedback and discussion. The workshop opens with an introduction by the organizer on European research-to-impact framework in green technologies. This provides a shared foundation for all presentations and discussions. Next the participants present their cases. | The workshop is held in small group format (maximum 15 participants) so that each case is thoroughly discussed. We use the workshop format so discussion is facilitated within a group instead of traditional conference format which mainly has communication from speaker to audience. |
Between presentations there is time for deeper topical research discussions and personal career reflections between participants.
We use a format which gives much time together. On a cruise ship: Stockholm to Helsinki and back. Three day workshop. We are in addition to presentations together breakfast, coffee breaks, lunch, dinner, social time in evening, and half day in Helsinki where we will use walk and talk. Everyone has accommodation at same place (the ship). Then we avoid the typical conference problem in a city with different hotels: a format that breaks up the time we have together. We also avoid the 12 minutes presentation and 3 minutes question format that leaves no time for fruitful discussion.
Workshop fee: €950. It includes accommodation (own cabin with sea view), evening dinners (buffet), breakfasts. Lunch in Helsinki is on your own.
What Presenters Receive
- Structured peer and organizer feedback on their green technologies narrative
- Cross-field perspective on how research and impact potential are framed across green technology areas
- Expansion of their professional European research network
- A citable presentation credit for their CV
Presenters can cite their contribution as: ”Title of talk”, Presented at the Workshop on European Research in Green Technologies and Impact Potential, June 2-4, 2026, Stockholm, Sweden, organized by ICM Research Institute, Sweden

Stronger postdoctoral fellowship 2026 proposal
Did you submit in 2025, receive a Seal of Excellence, and plan to resubmit in 2026? Is your research in green technologies?
Seal of Excellence re-submission
Green technologies
One way to strengthen your proposal is to consider more about the digital transition of your green technology. The green and digital transition (also called the twin transition) are inseparable. Green technology has limited value without digital. Your proposal becomes more credible and competitive when you can show how digital fits. For example, there are coming requirements such as digital product passports and European data spaces — both necessary for green technology to reach the market.
This aspect can be included in your proposal. It strengthens your proposal by connecting digital transition with the green technology.
How to strengthen your profile before you submit:
Develop an initial research description of digital transition in your field over 3 months. As a Guest Researcher at ICM Research Institute (online mode) you will build this description, present your model in August at a focussed workshop, and receive a certificate: Digital Transition in [research topic], Presented at the 2026 Workshop on Digital Transition for Green Technologies, August 2026, ICM Research Institute, Alminica AB, Sweden. Both the Guest Researcher affiliation and the workshop presentation are citable merits, and useful for the September submission.
Timeline: Kick-off early May, mid-term sharing and feedback (mid June, work-in-progress versions are shared between group members who reflect on each others digital transition approaches), all participants present in August workshop and receive peer feedback. Presentation is 10 minutes and peer feedback is 10 minutes. Presentation is mandatory for certificate.

Non-academic placement – info meet March 31
Applying for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2026?
Non academic placement as added value to your career and 6 extra months of funding. We have non-academic placement that includes travelling to meet cases and relevant events. The topic is shared data and digitalization to create values towards business and sustainability from research and innovation.
What does this mean?
– Whatever you do in research, it is a part of value/supply chain. That chain can only optimize by sharing data between the chain links.
– There is coming digital product passport. Your product (it will be at some point a product) will need to share data about origin, energy, etc. The data can actually also be used to create values, so not only for fulfilling regulatory requirements.
– The data creates an added value, that will be a digital asset. Also, when evidencing energy/CO2, that will be a sustainability assets.
This can be applied to your project. It is an added value. Want to hear more about how shared data and non-academic placement suits your next career step after fellowship period?
Join the info meet March 31 at 10 AM (CET).
European Workshop Series on Research and Impact Potential
A professional workshop series for researchers who want to build and position their research impact potential as part of their career development.
Participants present their research area and its potential impact. They receive structured feedback, become part of a research community with similar interest, and earn a citable presentation credit as a recognized merit.

European Research-to-Impact Forum Series | Premiere March 12
The European Research-to-Impact Forum Series is a structured forum where researchers discuss how scientific results translate into societal, technological and strategic impact.
It is a flexible mode of presentation and dialogue from which participants strengthen their impact positioning and expand their European research network.
The “European Research-to-Impact Forum Series” is for those MSCA researchers wo are interested to understand more about impact and exploitation, and how that will be useful for research and career. It is a meetup where participants discuss from their interest and experiences. It is a series where there will be meetups and presentations. Over time that builds more understanding about impact and exploitation for research and career.
First Forum: March 12 | 10 AM (CET)
