Research

The ESC research activities focus on large, cross-cutting themes run as inter-departmental and inter-disciplinary projects in the four strategic areas of:

  • energy and information
  • integration of renewables
  • integrated modeling
  • energy-water-land nexus

The ESC identifies relevant topics in the area of energy research. This includes also participation in national and international research programs.

Our research activities consist of:

  • taking a pro-active role in the energy research activities of ETH Zurich and supporting its strategic goals in all areas of action (efficiency, grids, storage, provision, economy, and more);
  • supporting ESC members and institutes by leveraging its network inside ETH Zurich, with other universities, and industry;
  • gathering opinions and open questions within the energy sector internally and externally, synthesising and disseminating them amongst researchers of ETH Zurich;
  • hosting researchers for specific projects in order to facilitate inter-departmental research projects;
  • promoting flagship programmes in the area of energy research.

Moreover, the Energy Blog @ ETH Zurich provides a space to discuss current energy topics.
