The Energy Science Center (ESC) is delighted to welcome Prof. Annalisa Manera as member of the competence center. Annalisa Manera is a Professor of Nuclear Systems and Multiphase Flows at ETH Zurich.

During two semesters, the Master in Energy Science and Technology (MEST) students had the opportunity to work on real-​world problems currently faced by companies within the energy sector.

Building retrofits are increasingly assessed from an environmental perspective. Standard assessment methods, however, largely do not consider future developments and fail to take into account the state of climate emergency where the time horizon is substantially shorter than the expected building lifetime. Therefore a more forward-looking analysis is required.

Earlier this year, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) organised the first International Cooperation Forum in Geneva to address poverty and climate change. Two editors of the Energy Blog @ ETH highlight their key takeaways about electricity access from the event.
