Executive Office

The Executive Office consists of three teams reporting to the Executive Director. The Research Programmes Team conducts research and manages a diverse project portfolio. The Nexus‑e Group manages the center’s in‑house energy system model. The Outreach and Education Team coordinates all communication, event and educational activities. The ESC is supported by student assistants and hosts the Research Center for Energy Networks (FEN), a non‑profit association dedicated to applied energy research.
