Activities

CIGRE develops technical knowledge using two main methods:

- Conferences and meetings, where papers are produced and discussed,
- Permanent studies carried out by Study Committees, working on technical subjects and publishing reports.

> The Biennial Session held in Paris every even numbered year is the most important CIGRE event: It brings together some 3000 delegates from all the parts of the world and more than 400 papers, covering all the fields of CIGRE, are discussed.
> Symposia are usually held in odd numbered years, in different countries: attendance is smaller and these events focus on a limited number of topics.
> Other meetings are held at country level or at Region level.

> Presently 16 Study Committees are active, each dealing with a technical field of the Power Industry. Their work, carried out by Working Groups, is coordinated by the Technical Committee of CIGRE. Altogether more than 2000 experts are involved in these Working Bodies; some 50 reports are issued every year.
