MoreKIT Graduate School ENZo
The new graduate school ENZo offers the next generation of young researchers the opportunity to apply interdisciplinary knowledge in application-oriented projects that can visibly contribute to the transformation of the energy system.
Future researchers are characterized not only by their desire to understand how developments and technologies can be embedded in the overall context of the energy system, but also by their desire to contribute to its sustainable design. ESD topics such as
- Expansion of "renewable energies",
- Linking energy conversion paths across application sectors,
- Circular economy - use of raw materials and energy,
- Broad social support for this change
are holisticly combined in "Real World Projects" strengthening interdisciplinary competence in areas such as project management and interdisciplinary cooperation.
Embedded in the manifold technological and scientific possibilities at KIT Energy Center, ENZo creates a unique development environment for PhD students.
