Kick-Off and first workshop ENSYSTRA
The European research project ENSYSTRA has officially kicked off in Groningen. Led by, among others, New Energy Coalition 15 PhDs will be trained in all aspects of the energy system transition, together with partners from all over Europe.
From April 16 to 20, 2018, ENSYSTRA its official project kick-off and first workshop. ENSYSTRA, co-developed and led by New Energy Coalition, will train 15 PhD researchers in all aspects of energy system transition. The process of transitioning from an energy system based on fossil fuels to one with limited CO2 emissions, energy efficiency, and energy security has far-reaching consequences for technologies, infrastructure, market organization, consumer behavior, and governance.
The event took place at the Energy Academy Building in the city of Groningen, where researchers from the University of Edinburgh, Chalmers University of Technology, University of Stavanger, Aalborg University Denmark, Europa-Universität Flensburg and the University of Groningen gathered.
Solid foundation for research projects with ENSYSTRA
The 15 junior PhD researchers and 13 senior researchers participated in various networking, knowledge-sharing, training, and research sessions. They also took a field trip to Groningen Seaports in Eemshaven. The various activities resulted in lively debates and interesting insights and will serve as a solid foundation for realizing ENSYSTRA's 15 research projects. We look forward to the next event in September 2018: the summer school in Flensburg, Germany.
