Stiftung Alpines Energieforschungscenter AlpEnForCe

Stiftung Alpines Energieforschungscenter AlpEnForCe is a non-profit research foundation established in early April 2016 with its seat and domicile in Disentis/Mustér in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. Its purpose is to promote interdisciplinary energy research for the benefit of the mountain cantons and other alpine regions. The foundation addresses technical, economic, legal and political questions surrounding energy in the alpine area, and it works with both national and international research institutions as well as with practical partners. AlpEnForCe operates primarily as an organizer and facilitator of research exchange rather than as a commercial enterprise. Its public profile centres on recurring conferences and workshops. The Energieforschungsgespräche Disentis (Energy Research Talks Disentis) is its flagship event series; the eleventh edition was scheduled for 28–30 January 2025 in Disentis, and a call for papers was issued for the twelfth edition, EFGD 2027, to be held from 27 to 29 January 2027 in Disentis. The foundation also holds an autumn conference (Herbsttagung); the 2026 autumn conference is announced for 5 November 2026 at the Zeughaus Uri in Altdorf, focusing on the consequences of climate change for Uri, natural hazards and flood protection, with free participation. The organization is based in the alpine canton of Graubünden and its activities are oriented toward mountain regions. It maintains contact details including a telephone number and email, and it communicates through its website and social media. As a non-profit foundation, it is not listed on a stock exchange and does not pursue commercial profit; its work is aimed at knowledge exchange and research coordination in the energy field.
