EVENT ALSO FOR STUDENTS.
Increasingly extreme weather conditions and a steadily rising sea level are unmistakable signs of the deepening climate crisis. Climate action and an accelerated energy transition can make a difference, with a crucial role for technology and engineering – and thereby for the thousands of students, PhDs, and postdocs of TU Delft.
The Climate Action Programme and Delft Energy organize The Best Paper Award. Young researchers can participate with their paper, published in 2024, and win an amount up to € 1000. An overall jury with professors from TU Delft and other universities will judge the final 9 papers after the themes and institutes of the programmes have delivered their winner.
On Tuesday March 18th, the nine finalists will pitch their research paper to the audience at the annual Best Climate Action and Enery Paper Award.
Do you want to submit a paper? The deadline is January 17th, 2025.
