PhDs, researchers and teachers met from 26 to 27 February 2025 in Barcelona.
​
Unite!Energy PhDs, researchers and teachers met at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-Barcelona Tech (UPC) in Barcelona and, in addition to a series of scientific seminars, visited the Research Center for Multiscale Science and Engineering, the Specific Hydrogen Research Center and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
Unite!Energy 1st annual conference at Unite! Research School
From 14th to 18th October 2024, the first ever Unite! Research School took place, which was organised by Unite! Partner university Grenoble INP UGA.
It brought together 180 people including 50 masters, 80 PhDs and 50 reserarchers, from nine Unite! universities, in the fields of Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage, Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, Nuclear Engineering and Sustainable Electronics.
It was also the first annual conference for the Unite!Energy researchers and PhD students, giving them the opportunity to finally meet in person.​
A vision of hydrogen for sustainable energy storage
Research for the energy transition: The international Doctoral Network "Unite.Energy” is investigating the use of hydrogen for chemical energy storage.
All nine universities in the Unite! alliance and other partner institutions are involved. The network is being funded by the EU for four years as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie action (MSCA) with around 3.2 million euros.
The 12 doctoral student positions are open!
The call for applications for the 12 doctoral positions is officially open.
Each PhD position includes periods at two of the participating universities, and a secondment to an institution or company, to study the technology in a practical environment.
You can find the information about all the open positions in the Apply section.
Unite!Energy Doctoral Network officially starts
The kick-off meeting of the project was held on the 28th of February at the Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), a beneficiary of the Unite!Energy project and partner of the Unite Alliance, in the framework of the IX Unite!Dialogue.
​
Representatives of the beneficiaries and associated partners participated, which will host and train the students for 1 to 6 months during the PhD period.
The meeting was an excellent opportunity to discuss the project objectives and the following steps, as well as the scientific and organizational aspects of the project.
