This spring semester, approximately 240 students enrolled in the Experts in Teamwork (EiT) course are collaborating on projects connected to Mission NET Zero. The initiative emphasizes the complexity of achieving a zero-emission society and the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Mission NET Zero is an educational initiative under the Experts in Teamwork (EiT) course where interdisciplinary student teams work on energy transition challenges. The aim is to motivate students for continued involvement in the energy transition both throughout the EiT course and in future careers. Solving the challenges related to the energy transition will require collaboration across different sectors and disciplines.

All Mission NET Zero students were invited to a joint kick-off seminar on Wednesday, 14 January, 08:00–09:30 in S5, Gløshaugen (close to the Rapido kiosk). With students from a broad range of disciplines, the aim of the seminar was to build a shared understanding of the complexity of the transition and the need for integrated and responsible societal perspectives.

The Energy Transition

The Energy Transition

The global shift from reliance on fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to cleaner, renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower is a holistic challenge. The transition is a multidisciplinary endeavour required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, and create a more sustainable and low-carbon energy system. It involves changes in technology, policy, and infrastructure to support renewable energy adoption and efficiency.
