Yes, the 2022 Session will proceed as scheduled. CIGRE considered swapping to odd years from 2021 on. However there were many practical reasons why this was not possible, ranging from venue logistics, availability and contracts; competing events; and our own technical two year cycle.

 

CIGRE also took into account its 60 National Committees who run events in the odd years. Changing the CIGRE Session to odd years permanently would have also meant the rescheduling of scores of regular events all over the globe.

 

So the CIGRE Session will return to an even year cycle from 2022 on for our second century. The preparation for the 2022 Session will follow CIGRE's normal calendar, with our expert Technical Council setting the preferential subjects in September 2020 year and publishing that list in early 2021.
