Summer Course Hydrogen's Role in Energy Transition: Perspective and Challenges

19 August 2024 - 23 August 2024, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

This programme offers in-depth and innovative lectures on hydrogen energy, targeting professionals, policymakers, researchers, and graduate students.

This summer course is not only a learning and sharing platform, but also a network-building opportunity for professionals and academics, fostering innovation and practical applications in the hydrogen energy field. It is a crucial step towards realising an excellence roadmap in sustainable energy, innovation, and efficient system integration.

Registration open from 15 June 2024 til 12 August 2024

Energy Challenges - an interdisciplinary approach: Hydrogen economy as socio-technical challenge

26-30 August 2024, Groningen, Netherlands

With the huge impact of emissions that are warming our planet, we urgently need to change the way we generate energy from fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal) to clean, renewable energy. Although we know this, the energy transition is not going so fast.

What are the challenges for energy transition? This summer school addresses the future of a hydrogen economy and the social-technical challenges involved. The course is meant for master students to do their first exploration of the complexity of challenges in energy transition, to get in contact with a real-time energy challenge and obtain skills in defining broad challenges into smaller research questions.

Application deadline 31 May 2024

Multiple Lives of Subsurface in Decarbonization: The political geology/ecology of the subterranean in energy transition

28 August 2024 - 30 August 2024, Groningen, Netherlands

The global imperative for decarbonization and energy transition is increasingly framed as a shift towards global land scramble, given the spatially extensive nature of renewables and the divergent land-use patterns these technologies impose.

This summer school will dive into the politics of sub/surface spaces in the energy transition with attention to spatialities, materialities and temporalities of subterranean renewable energy (ie. Geothermal), carbon-capture & storage (CCS), and hydrogen storage technologies.

Application deadline 10 June 2024
