Registration form | 4TU.Energy PhD course | 13-14 Nov 2025

The flagship event of 4TU.Energy to enable knowledge transfer is coming again (Looking back course 2024 see here): 

This course is focused on PhD students and will use the format of combining lectures / presentations / workshops, with the aims to enable knowledge transfer and build the capacity of young researchers to learn from and to reflect on timely energy topics, additionally, to facilitate PhD students to analyze energy transition from the lens of other research areas.

Every year, a different program and different speakers are formed during the 2 days on various timely topics; besides researchers from 4 technical universities, different stakeholders, e.g. industry/company, will also be invited to give presentations.

General introduction and Overview of previous editions of this course can be found on this webpage.

In addition to acquiring a broader perspective and understanding of energy topics on an academic level, the PhD candidates will also receive the opportunity to improve their soft skills - pitch skills. The online pitch training will be offered by a professional external trainer in advance of the course, and the skills can be put into practice during the pitch session on course Day-1. (Evaluation of pre-course pitch training see here)

This is not only an opportunity to gain knowledge in Energy Transition, with different perspectives, but also a chance to build up the PhD community within 4TU.
