The annual PhD course aims to build capacity of young researchers by enabling PhD candidates to learn from and to reflect on energy topics. This year is a first, and for future PhD courses we intend to invite a different scientific committee each time to curate the programme. The topic for this year is “Sustainability, Systems and Societal aspects in Energy Transition”.
This year’s PhD course is fully booked, and the programme consists of academic lectures as well as presentations from different contributors, such as the Province of Noord Brabant and TNO . In addition to acquiring a broader-perspective understanding of energy topics on an academic level, the PhD candidates will also receive support in honing their soft skills, including pitch training.
