RD20 early career researchers should be students, postdoctoral researchers, or early career (first few years of staff or faculty positions) with broad research interests in global energy. Previous participants have had backgrounds and research interests in renewable energy technologies, energy storage, energy systems, energy economy, carbon capture and storage, decarbonization and societal impacts of the energy system. One goal of the summer school is to enable broad education and engagement. Participants will be asked to participate in a group project during the week and present their project outcome on the final day. Early career researchers are encouraged to attend to represent all the RD20 countries.
Senior leaders/keynote speakers will be internationally recognized experts who will share their knowledge and be available for informal conversation and discussion during the week.
