Research
The ESC research activities focus on large, cross-cutting themes run as inter-departmental and inter-disciplinary projects in the four strategic areas of:
- energy and information
- integration of renewables
- integrated modeling
- energy-water-land nexus
The ESC identifies relevant topics in the area of energy research. This includes also participation in national and international research programs.
Our research activities consist of:
- taking a pro-active role in the energy research activities of ETH Zurich and supporting its strategic goals in all areas of action (efficiency, grids, storage, provision, economy, and more);
- supporting ESC members and institutes by leveraging its network inside ETH Zurich, with other universities, and industry;
- gathering opinions and open questions within the energy sector internally and externally, synthesising and disseminating them amongst researchers of ETH Zurich;
- hosting researchers for specific projects in order to facilitate inter-departmental research projects;
- promoting flagship programmes in the area of energy research.
