Deloitteās āFuture of Energy Business Courseā is intended to bring engineering students the business perspective of the energy transition. The course targets energy-interested 3rd-yearĀ bachelor and master students across all faculties from Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, University Twente, and Wageningen University and Research. It is open to PhD candidates as well. Topics include decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, scenario development, and the business perspective around solutions such as hydrogen, power and CCS, and the future of work in a net-zero-context.
This autumn (November to mid-December) it will be the third time! The course will run and also this year the course will be co-organized by Deloitte and 4TU.Energy, and supported by the 4 technical universities locally. This course is set up as a 6-week business course, incorporating an introduction session, weekly content workshops, weekly project team sessions, and one festive pitch session to conclude the business course.
This is where we need you! We are looking for enthusiastic co-mentors who together with Deloitte specialists would like to help students reflect on the workshop content and assist project teams in idea acceleration and pitch creation, from both industry and academia perspectives. Mentors are also welcome to join the content workshops. The workload for students and mentors is estimated to be 4 hours for each weekly content workshop on specific energy transition topics, excluding some time to go through the weekly pre-read.
The final product is a pitch for each accelerator idea, to be presented to a panel of Deloitte and 4TU experts. The accelerator ideas will be sourced through members of the technical universities and candidate applications; they will be selected by a panel consisting of topic experts from Deloitte and 4TU.Energy.
