Raquel Santos Jorge
About
I am a EU and International Research Coordinator affiliated with NTNU's Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, section on Managerial Economics, Finance and Operations Research.
I am part of the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative (NETI), which provides world leading research on energy transition strategies to industry and government. I am also part of the Management Team for NTNU's Strategic Research Area on Energy.
My main tasks are related to support to international collaborative activities at NTNU on energy transition related topics, namely support on external funding aquisition and proposal development within the context of EU's R&I funding programmes and other funding schemes.
Since 2018, I have a role within the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA), where I am involved in Joint Programme e3s (clean Energy tranSition for Sustainable Society) and EERA Joint Programme Bioenergy, as Management Board member and Sub-Programme coordinator.
Background/education: I obtained a MSc degree in Engineering Physics from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon (2004) and a PhD degree in Industrial Ecology from NTNU (2013). My PhD thesis focused on the environmental assessment of energy systems, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
Previous work experience: Between 2012 and 2016, I was an advisor at Enova SF, a Norwegian governmental agency working towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, development of energy and climate technology and a strengthened security of supply in Norway. At Enova, I was responsible for reporting the greenhouse gas effects of the measures receiving funding from the agency. I was also involved in collaborative projects between Enova and the Norwegian Environment Agency focusing on estimating the energy and greenhouse gas reduction potentials of measures targeting the land-based industry sector in Norway.
