This school aims to complement the training of the next generation of researchers and professionals working in emerging energy technologies. It will provide a broad, interdisciplinary perspective on the fundamental processes that underpin modern energy systems, while highlighting the urgent need to translate scientific advances into practical solutions that can help tackle climate change.
