Experts in Teamwork (EiT) and NTNU Energy Transition are collaborating in a new pilot project. Selected energy-related EiT villages are part of our Mission NET Zero. As a student in on of these villages, you will have the opportunity to work in multi-disciplinary teams on one of the most important challenges of our time - a more sustainable, societal, climate friendly and just energy transition.

Students in these Mission Net Zero villages are invited to:

  • Participate in a kick- off event on January 15, 2025, along with other motivated students
  • Work on real challenges of energy transition with relevance to industry and government
  • Exhibit your EiT project at the Energy Transition Conference 2025 (April 2, 2025), where you can
    • Interact with academics, policy makers and industry from Norway and abroad
    • Present your EiT project and win an award
  • Take part of an innovation idea competition run by EiT, with possibility to
    • Receive training on developing the innovation idea
    • Get training on pitching the innovation idea
    • Win an award

But why?

It’s about approaching complex issues from different angles and with a range of competencies to find good solutions. We don’t just need scientists and technologists, but also social scientists, philosophers, and economists. For different energy forms to function together, or for renewable energy production to be established, many factors need to be considered. A solution in one area can, for example, have negative consequences in another.

Glad you asked! Read more about the ideology behind the pilot project in this op-ed.

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.

Innovation developing

Develop your innovation

The NTNU School of Entrepreneurship will provide students with training to develop their innovative ideas and effectively pitch them.

Present your idea at the NTNU Energy Transition Conference on April 2, 2025, for a chance to win the EiT Innovation Award, which will be presented by the Minister of Energy, Terje Aasland.
