The Swiss Competence Center on Supply of Electricity (SCCER-SoE), with support of the National Research Programme „Energy Turnaround“ (NRP 70), organized the second PhD School focusing on hydropower and geo-energies.
In the middle of the Alps, in Leukerbad, nearly 60 doctoral students experienced three days full of interdisciplinary discussions, presentations, group work, and excursions.
It was the goal of the PhD School to present them a profound big picture of the transition needed to reach the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050 and the latest developments, future prospects, and regional aspects of hydropower and geo-energies in Switzerland.
