4TU.Energy strives for the transition of society to a carbon-neutral future by offering support to research and education within 4 technical universities. One of the main scientific events to facilitate our education support is the annual PhD course.
In 2023, 4TU.Energy has organized the first edition of the course and has received positive feedback. Looking back including the course program and scientific committee members can be found on the website here.
More general introduction about this course can be found here.
- this course offers no ECTS, but offers a certificate on which the learning hours and content will be indicated; so you can ask for ECTS at your university if needed.
- this course is 2 days intensive academic program, 2 days' full day presence will be the mandatory requirement for your registration
- this high-level course will cover both a technical perspective and a social-science perspective in the energy transition, but on a broad scope; students with either technical or societal backgrounds are all welcome
- once the registration is open, max. 45 students (according to the registration time, and students in 4TU get priority) will be enrolled in this program, FULL = FULL
- in case not available anymore, please de-register yourself a.s.a.p., so other PhD students on the waiting list can replace you
