Norwegian Energy Shifters

Green Energy Shifters

Initial meeting for building a Young Professional network in the Norwegian energy space

The NTNU Energy Transition Initiative's goal is to accelerate the energy transition in Norway. Since the young professionals will eventually do the heavy lifting for transforming the Norwegian energy system, we want to build a platform where young professionals can network and exchange knowledge so that the energy transition in Norway is accelerated. The network will be called the Green Energy Shifters Network. Members of the Green Energy Shifters Network are young professionals from businesses, academia, and public administration (municipalities, fylkeskommune etc).

This workshop at the Energy Transition week will be the kick-off event for the Green Energy Shifters Network. To start building a community, the workshop will be organized as a digital “unConference”. This means that there will be speed dating and network opportunities and it also means that content and topics will emerge in the process and will come from the participants. The workshop will be facilitated by Julius Wesche who is a researcher at NTNU and who also hosts the NTNU Energy Transition Podcast. 

The event will run on Microsoft Teams.
