Projektziele (Englisch)

Engineers, policy-makers, representatives of research and industry from all over the world work on solutions to meet the global energy challenge.

Since the industrial revolution engineering has been at the root of a fantastic evolution of mankind. However, the growth of our population with everyone’s legitimate quest for the new technology stresses on our global environment and resources.
Time is more than ripe to review these challenges and share views on how science and engineering, together with politics, will contribute to overcome these difficulties and promote a fair development for everyone. Energy is a major driving force.

The six main challenges:

• Education in engineering
   
• Mobility and transport
   
• Urban development and buildings
   
• Energy Conversion and Distribution
   
• Renewable energy and storage
    
• Rational end use and large consumers
