Solar Decathlon Europe after 2014 and the Energy Enedeavour Foundation

After the Solar Decathlon Europe in 2014, previous organisers, participants, supporters and decathletes worked to create a vehicle for the longevity of the Solar Decathlon in Europe. The culmination of this work was the creation of the [http://energyendeavour.org Energy Endeavour Foundation] (EEF) in 2016/2017 with the endorsement of the United States Department of Energy to steward the Solar Decathlon in Europe. The EEF subsequently issued a Call for Cities for the 2019 edition, which was awarded to Szentendre, Hungary in March 2017.

From this point onward the Energy Endeavour Foundation has fulfilled its stewarding role to the SDE editions organisers. Drawing upon the input of the [https://energyendeavour.org/experts/sde-council-of-experts/ SDE Council of Experts], the EEF provides continuity from one SDE edition to the next.

Solar Decathlon Europe 2019 took place in Szentendre, Hungary, July 12–July 28, 2019.

Solar Decathlon Europe 2021/2022

In July 2018 the Energy Endeavour Foundation (EEF) issued the Call for Cities for the 2021 edition of the Solar Decathlon Europe ([https://sde21.eu/ SDE21]). In early 2019, the EEF designated the city of Wuppertal, {{GER|#}}, as the host city for the SDE21, led by a team from the University of Wuppertal and the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy. Due to the COVID19 health crisis the Solar Decathlon Europe 2021 was postponed, and took between June 10 and June 26, 2022. The SDE21>22 took place on the Utopiastadt Campus. Utopiastadt participated in the "Solar Decathlon goes urban" concept of the 2021 competition.{{cite web | title =Urban Solar Decathlon – Internationaler studentischer Innovationswettbewerb für Gebäude kommt nach Wuppertal| periodical= | publisher= | url=http://neue-effizienz.de/aktuelles/beitraege/?id=ec8da8e1debb3b0af5de9586b2656b6a|format=|access-date=|last=|date=|year=|language=de|pages= | quote =}}

The SDE21 Call for Teams was open until October 25, 2019, leading to the selection of 18 Teams from 11 countries. This edition of the SDE focuses on the requalification of urban environments, challenging the participating Teams in resolving one of three possible urban solutions: renovation and extension, closing gaps, and addition of stories.
