At the SCCER School in Engelberg in mid-October, the first of its kind, 160 PhD students, postdocs and scientific assistants spent three days thinking and discussing about how to shape the energy transition with their research. Nearly 40 speakers from academia, industry and federal offices covering topics as the energy market, storage, supply, consumption and distribution inspired and challenged the young scientists. Excursions to a multifunctional wastewater treatment plant, the small hydropower plant Trübsee and the Benedictine Monastery of Engelberg enriched the dense program and allowed soaking up the warm autumn sun and panoramic mountain view.
