Co-authored by a diverse group of experts from across disciplines, the book Designing Renewable Energy Systems within Planetary Boundaries – A Textbook for Energy Engineers offers multidisciplinary insights into building more sustainable energy futures. You can download the book here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-69856-9

Join our book launch for short talks, a panel discussion, and informal conversations on what it means to educate for a sustainable future. After the formal program, you’re welcome to stay for a relaxed networking session with light snacks and beverages (find preliminary programme below). 

This will be a chance to reconnect after the summer, explore timely ideas, and engage with a community of thinkers, doers, and curious minds.

We look forward to seeing you!
