The aim is to contribute to the sustainable development of energy systems. This is achieved through research that combines technological and societal perspectives.
The research school seeks to increase understanding of how energy systems evolve, with a focus on the interaction between technology, regulations, political decisions and the interests of different actors.
Collaboration and shared learning
Through Samverkansforum, doctoral students, supervisors and researchers from different disciplines and universities meet. This creates opportunities to exchange experiences, collaborate and develop new perspectives together.
Joint activities are a key part of the research school. They provide a structure for learning and interaction among participants.
The activities include courses in the field of energy systems, seminars and workshops, as well as two mandatory meetings each year—one in spring and one in autumn. Most courses include in-person sessions, often on multiple occasions, which means that travel may be required.
These joint meetings are used to strengthen collaboration across disciplines, build networks and enable continuous exchange of knowledge and experience.
Objectives and background
The research school aims to contribute knowledge and competence to academia, industry, public authorities and organisations.
FoES builds on the previous research school Programme Energy Systems, but with a more developed structure for how research projects are organised and carried out.
