ESC Summer School 2023: Energy Technology, Policy and Politics – how to build a net-zero GHG emissions energy system
27. August – 1. September 2023, Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland
For more information and registration
This summer school of the Energy Science Center (ESC) is aiming to present an in-depth understanding of the energy sector to early-stage researchers from around the world. The theme of the summer school will be to address the following questions from a technical, economic and policy perspective:
- How does the energy supply system function today and potentially in the future?
- What are the main challenges and opportunities in achieving a net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions energy supply system?
- How can needed investments in the energy system be realized?
- How can policy accelerate the transition to a net zero energy system?
- How can political ambition be increased or implement such accelerating policies?
The ESC is a collaborating competence center of the RESPONSE Doctoral Program .
Getting Your Message Across: How to Make Yourself and Your Research Visible – RESPONSE Mentoring Workshop
March 17, 2023, 9:00 – 17:00, ETH Zurich
In this workshop, participants will learn how to reach a wider audience with your topics and texts and how to prepare and convey your content in an understandable and attractive way in the digital age. They will work on a popular science blog post, learn about graphic tools to support the text in a multimedia and interactive way, learn about the pitfalls and strengths of social media and how to create and manage your own web presence for yourself and your research. Another focus is on visibility: How do I build and manage a community? How can I communicate the importance of my research for politics, economy and society – and actually reach them?
