Guided by research excellence and integrity, ECET pushes boundaries with curiosity-driven and interdisciplinary collaboration while developing impact-driven innovations that support policymakers, industry, and society in navigating the transition towards a resilient and carbon-neutral energy future.
ECET is building a EUR-wide multidisciplinary research community focused on the energy transition. By connecting researchers across schools and disciplines, we aim to strengthen collaboration, deepen knowledge exchange and create new opportunities for impactful research.
How we work
We follow a holistic, multi-perspective approach to solve complex Energy Transition challenges via research, innovation, and thought leadership.
Research & Innovation
- Establishing energy transition expert groups within and between EUR schools;
- Connecting expert groups to work on shared energy transition challenges;
- Linking academic expertise with key societal stakeholders including policymakers, industry and civil society.
Thought Leadership
- Building national and international research collaboration;
- Connecting experts to knowledge-lobby communities.
Our current research themes
ECET Energy Accelerator
The ECET Energy Accelerator is a seed funding instrument from ECET designed to accelerate promising, interdisciplinary energy and transition projects towards larger research programmes, structural collaborations, and societal impact.
Aim of the programme
Energy Accelerators have the aim to explore new innovative ideas, new lines of research, or build consortia and collaborations with social, public, and private partners.
