Showcasing Doctoral Research in Modelling for Climate and Energy
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:39:09
Abstract
Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy and climate with modelling, simulation and similar analytical methods. The students present their work to their colleagues, advisors and the scientific community. Each week two students gives a ~30 minute 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 (new/other) advanced research in the area of energy and climate and identify collaboration opportunities; (2) participants will actively participate in discussion after each presentation and improve their feedback skills; (3) participants gain experience of different presentation styles; (4) to create a network amongst the energy research doctoral student community. (5) to recognise and reward outstanding research and presentations with Best Presentation Awards.
Content
Doctoral students at ETH Zurich working in the broad area of energy and climate present and discuss their research with their colleagues, advisors and the scientific community. There will be two presentations a week during the semester, each structured as follows: 30 min presentation followed by a 30 min discussion with the audience.
