Webinar: Integration of energy storage and hydrogen infrastructures in future energy systems
April 8th, 2024

We have created an Early Career Researchers (ECRs) forum to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, problem solving and learning among peers who are engaged in energy storage research. Access to flexible funding, a mentoring programme, workshops, seminars, and other events, will be part of the ECRs forum to facilitate knowledge exchange, identify research gaps, and support career development.
The ECRs forum is available to PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior lecturers (typically that are within 36 months of their first academic lecturing appointment in a UK university). To become a member of the ECRs forum please subscribe here.
ECR COMMITTEE
We created an ECR committee to give you the opportunity to have more control over the Supergen Network+’s resources to decide how to help the ECR community thrive and develop. ECRs from across the whole energy storage sector applied in October 2020 to be part of our new committee.
Webinar Series: Bioenergy, 24 July 2023
Supergen Energy Storage Network+ Webinar Series: Bioenergy recordings is now available here. Password: 03!1tY%x
