In 2017, more than 85% of the added electricity production capacity in Europe was based on renewable sources. With increasing shares of wind, solar, biomass and hydropower, the transition within the energy systems is moving forward. Hence, the electricity sector plays a leading role in ensuring minimal environmental impact, reliability of energy supply and achieving this at minimum cost. Currently, energy science and technology are facing manifold serious challenges in order to propose sustainable solutions. Amongst these are: the intermittent nature and only local disposability and/or exploitability of different kinds of renewable energy sources, the development of large-scale energy storage, as well as the handling of the remaining fossil heat and power plants. New concepts and integral views are necessary in energy science and engineering to reduce primary energy consumption and to propose a sustainable development for large energy consumers such as the mobility and the building sector.
The annual colloquium of the Munich School of Engineering, a cross-faculty institution, highlights the diversity of research activities on energy related topics, done by Bavarian universities. The goal is to connect disciplines, faculties and universities and nurture knowledge and research, as well as to provide a platform for discussion and exchange. The 8th Energy Colloquium of the Munich School of Engineering focusses on new concepts and methodologies used in energy science and engineering.
The call for contributions to the 8th colloquium of the Munich School of Engineering is now open for all members of bavarian universities: doctoral students and young researchers from all energy related research fields are invited to provide an insight into their research concepts, approaches, methodologies and results.
It is possible to contribute an oral or a poster presentation. The best three contributions in each category will be rewarded. Furthermore, plenty of opportunities will be available for further discussions and networking.
