Abstract
Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, their advisors and the scientific community. Each week a different student gives a 50-60 min presentation of their research (a full introduction, background & findings) followed by discussion with the audience.
Objective
The key objectives of the course are: (1) participants will gain knowledge of advanced research in the area of energy; (2) participants will actively participate in discussion after each presentation; (3) participants gain experience of different presentation styles; (4) to create a network amongst the energy research doctoral student community.
Content
Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy present their research to their colleagues, to their advisors and to the scientific community. There will be one presentation a week during the semester, each structured as follows: 20 min introduction to the research topic, 30 min presentation of the results, 30 min discussion with the audience.
