NETI-NTRANS'25 Student Workshop
28-29.04.2025, Trondheim, Norway
The NETI-NTRANS Workshop builds on the missions of the Energy Transition Initiative (NETI) and the Norwegian Centre for Energy Transition Strategies (NTRANS) by bringing together Master and PhD students from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) 🇳🇴 and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWr) 🇵🇱 to foster cross-institutional collaboration and knowledge exchange. By engaging students with real-world energy transition challenges, the workshop strengthens ties between future energy professionals, encourages joint research, and bridges the gap between academia and industry. This initiative embodies NETI's and NTRANS' commitment to international collaboration, industry engagement, and equipping the next generation with the skills and expertise needed to drive sustainable energy solutions.
The workshop is organized by Stein-Erik Fleten and Sjur Westgaard, and held at the NTNU campus.
