Centre of Renewable Energy

For 25 years, the Estonian University of Life Sciences was the driving force behind the national conference on the research and use of renewable energy sources (TEUK). The first conference on the research and use of renewable energy sources (TEUK) took place on November 4, 1999, and the last TEUK conference was held in 2023.

Over the years, TEUK has become one of Estonia's most important conferences on renewable energy, especially in the early years of the renewable energy sector's development. The conference has addressed topics that are currently the focus of renewable energy development in Estonia, Europe, and globally: renewable energy resources, their production, and use. The conference stands out from its many international competitors by focusing primarily on local issues and bringing scientific results closer to the people. TEUK is the only national conference on energy in Estonia with such a long tradition.

The conferences have been held continuously for twenty-five years, bringing participants from different regions of Estonia to Tartu. Every year, the conference brings together researchers, entrepreneurs, and politicians to discuss renewable energy and the most pressing issues in the Estonian energy sector, as well as cooperation between science and business.

The conference was organized by the Estonian University of Life Sciences in cooperation with the Estonian Renewable Energy Association, the Tartu Region Energy Agency, and the Estonian Research Council.

From 2008 to 2014, the conference was supported by EAS through the SPINNO+ program. Since 2015, TEUK has been supported by the ASTRA program.
