The 2024 Birmingham Decarbonisation Summer School: Accelerating Energy Transition towards Net-Zero is a five-day event that will bring doctoral and postdoctoral researchers together to propose a technical solution and business model for a decarbonisation challenge. Accepted applicants will be pooled into interdisciplinary teams of up to 5 members each and will compete by pitching their proposal to a judging panel by the end of the summer school. The winning team will receive a lot of kudos and a £500 prize to be split amongst the team members (up to £100 per person, this may take the form of vouchers). Places are awarded via a competitive application process, application deadline is 28 May 2024.
