Lecture Series: Clean Energy Transition

Enabling Technologies for the Clean Energy Transition

The Clean Energy Transition (CET) has become a priority for Europe to move from a fossil fuel-based to a carbon-free energy model by 2050, thereby reducing CO₂ emissions, limiting global warming and curbing climate change.

This lecture series will bring together a group of worldwide renowned experts in specific technical aspects of the CET (many of them qualified as Distinguished Lectures by the IEEE).

The lectures will consist of two content levels:

present advanced and disruptive scientific concepts oriented to spark ideas among scientists, researchers and students interested in physical and digital energy management;
include a review of projects, trends, businesses and policies related to the CET with the aim of attracting the attention of industry, associations and institutions working in/for the energy sector, trying to also draw the attention of civil society in general.

Join us on this journey towards energy transition, catalyzing a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable future!

Objectifs

In this lecture series, we will explore the pioneering technologies that will transform our carbon-dependent society to a carbon-neutral one.

We will advance in understanding energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification, digitalization, and beyond.

We will navigate the challenging landscape of the future of energy - digitalized, decentralized, and decarbonized.
