Joint EPS-SIF International School on Energy 2023

Global Challenges for Energy Sustainability

The World is engaged in the challenge of a rapid de-carbonization of its economy to try to control global warming. The main purpose of the School on Energy, jointly organised by the European and Italian Physical Societies, is to address how innovation in the energy sector and integration of different technologies can contribute to this goal. De-carbonization requires a portfolio of options in which renewables will have to provide the lion share but other technologies such as nuclear and carbon capture and storage will be needed. Any debate on the energy policy requires a basic understanding of the whole energy field. It is our collective responsibility as physicists to ensure that such a basic understanding permeates the political debate.

The School is intended for PhD students and young post-docs. The number of students at the Course is limited to about 60. Students are requested to attend all lectures.
