Program Overview

NTNU Energy Transition Seminar

The NTNU Energy Transition Seminar is a monthly presentation series that brings together researchers from multiple disciplines working on energy transition topics—ranging from societal perspectives to systems, markets, and economics. A key objective of the series is to foster collaboration among academia, industry, and society in an interdisciplinary energy research environment, ultimately aiming to accelerate the pace of the energy transition.

Organisers

• Viviane Aubin, PhD Candidate, Department of Electric Energy
• Benjamin Mitterrutzner, PhD Candidate, Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management
• Amber Nordholm, Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture

About the Seminar Series

The seminar series is co-hosted by researchers from the Department of Electric Power Engineering, the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, and the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture in collaboration with the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative.
