Gathered in Corte for the ICOME 2026 international conference, researchers and experts are discussing the energy challenges facing island regions. From energy self-sufficiency to hydrogen, energy storage, and climate adaptation, Corsica is at the center of the discussions.

For Mohamed El Ganaoui, a professor at the University of Lorraine specializing in energy systems and the founding president of the ICOME conference, the key is first and foremost to set a course. “Research isn’t linear; it can move very quickly at certain times and sometimes more slowly,” he notes. “Setting a goal is a positive step.”
