Energy Systems of the Future

The energy transition is a highly complex transformation process. If it is to be successfully implemented, different competences need to be pooled. With its interdisciplinary structure, the project ESYS provides a suitable framework to meet this challenge.

ESYS assembles top-level experts from a variety of disciplines. In open, committed discussion panels, they succeed in creating a rare interdisciplinary spirit. The project brings together representatives of scientific and industrial research, thus enabling a holistic consideration of the energy system.

There are many aspects that need to be understood and arranged if the energy transition is to be successful. With its interdisciplinary structure, ESYS offers a unique platform, in which it is a pleasure to participate.

ESYS pools the expertise of leading scientists. I consider it a great benefit to be enabled to better understand other perspectives, while contributing the economic point of view. Only by pooling our knowledge can we succeed in comprehensively assessing the challenges of the energy transition.

As an engineer, I create knowledge we require for the transformation of the energy system. If this knowledge is to reach political decision-makers, it must be appropriately processed and explained. With its publications and dialogue programmes, ESYS enables this transfer.

On the basis of a holistic study of the energy system, the members of ESYS work out possible courses of action. With this approach, they are setting standards. Their work at the interface between academia, politics, the industry and civil society ensures that their political and social propositions are both scientifically sound and practical.
