Participants

ESYS members are specialists with a proven scientific background in a range of disciplines. They contribute on a voluntary basis to the strategic direction of ESYS and to the development of its content. More than 160 energy specialists from university, non-university and industrial research are currently members of ESYS.

Alongside scientific expertise, ESYS relies on incorporating perspectives from industry, politics and organised civil society. People in the ESYS network are representatives of organisations from society, industry and politics who contribute to the development of ESYS content but do not have a scientific focus. The ESYS Directorate appoints ESYS members and people in the ESYS network for a term of three years. Reappointment is possible without limit.
