Climate change is probably the most challenging situation the humanity has ever faced. Beyond the increase of greenhouse gases concentration in the atmosphere, massive loss of biodiversity and deforestation are threats that worsen the climate crisis.
To fight this global warming, a transition towards a low carbon energy is required: renewable energy sources integration along with decarbonized energy carriers production, decarbonization of the final uses of the energy in the housing, transportation and industrial sectors are required to achieve the ambitious objective of a carbon neutral world by 2050.
Decentralized smart energy systems play an increasing role in the perspective of renewable energy sources integration. This is the spirit of DENSYS. The overall goals of the DENSYS are:
to educate with Multiphysics approaches (electrical, mechanical, chemical engineering) top skilled engineers, who will be able to design, size, optimize and operate decentralized smart energy systems while keeping a holistic vision to understand citizens’ needs and to dialog with different stakeholders,
to train future scientists, since decentralized energy systems still require R&D.
DENSYS is an European Union funded program, coordinated by University of Lorraine (UL, France), jointly built with the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH in Stockholm Sweden), the Polytechnic Institute of Torino (PoliTo, Italy) and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC in Barcelona, Spain).
DENSYS implements the “T-shaped” education profile, the vertical bar of the T being the core competences in engineering (namely mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering) and the horizontal bar complementary competences that are required to have a holistic vision and to engage the dialog with different specialists.
DENSYS will provide you a solid training in engineering and also competences in economics and humanities. These last are of primary importance since the energy transition is mainly a human and societal concern, especially in the case of decentralized energy systems, which are closed to the territories and citizens.
DENSYS is also an intercultural experience, which will enable us to share local contexts which are so important to develop relevant and efficient energy solution.
DENSYS aims at training engineers, researchers, but also ambassadors of new energy technologies and of the energy transition and citizens of a world that must urgently shift towards a climate neutral one.
Welcome to DENSYS program and all the team wish you the best success…
