CIGRE.ch WIE event (Women In Energy)

Time: Tue 25.11.2025, 14:30 – 17:30 & Networking Apéro
Place: Hitachi Energy Toro 3, Brown-Boveri-Strasse 50, Zurich Oerlikon

Please register by latest the 11.11.2025 two weeks prior to the event, so we can process needed security measures for the factory tour.

This CIGRE.ch WIE Event is addressing Swiss based female engineers in the Swiss energy sector. It will focus on collaboration across Women Networks, open to Swiss members from Hitachi Energy and CIGRE Women In Energy. We will present the Hitachi Energy FeMale Network (Raffaella Desiati), the Swisspower “Women In Power” Network WIP (Patricia Sandmeier) and the CIGRE “Women In Energy” Network “CIGRE WIE Switzerland” (Priyanka Gugale and National CIGRE Secretary Marcel Stoeckli). We intend to strengthen and activate the CIGRE.ch WIE group out of the participating female visitors, heading for an active core team (National Vice Chair, Technical/WG Lead and Event Lead) and interested community members.

The main goals of the CIGRE.ch WIE group are: Technical and cross-functional knowledge sharing, career development support (mentorship, leadership guidance, role models) and participating in events as a group and creating some own events, always with an inclusive approach to CIGRE senior experts and young talents (CIGRE Next Generation Network).

The event will be rounded up by a Hitachi GCB Factory Tour and a networking Apéro.

CIGRE.ch DACH Energietechnik (in German)

Time: Mon/Tue 01/02.12.2025
Place: Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung Konferenzzentrum, Lazarettstr. 33, 80636 München

This event is a traditional CIRED after conference digest in Munich every two years. The CIRED 2025 conference took place in June 2025 in Geneva. Selected DACH Main Authors will present their Geneva conference papers in German languague, focussing on innovation in distribution grids. On top of the Geneva flashback, the Organising Committee added a specific focus on Data Science (Big Data) and Intelligent Instruments to mitigate physical grid expansion needs, again with all presentations in German languague.

CIGRE.ch @ LILU (Lichtfestival Lucerne Walkthrough)

Time: Tue 20.01.2026 / 18:00 – 22:00
Place: Lucerne Railway Station, Exit KKL

This event is a traditional and informal NGN + WIE + CIGRE expert get together during the inspiring Lucerne Lichtfestival. We will meet and greet, walk through the artists installations in the old town of Lucerne and finally warm up in a coffee shop before travelling individually back.

We also draw a special attention to the projects of the first and second year students of the HSLU Bachelor Animation, who typically are involved inside and around the Peters Chappel between Chappel Bridge and Schwanenplatz.

Here you find an impression on the previous 2025 visit.
