EUR 1,500 each
Conference & site visit
Solar, storage, flexible demand, 24/7 green supply – the energy transition is accelerating. At Enery, we believe that transforming Europe’s energy system requires not only capital and infrastructure, but also bold new ideas and rigorous research.
With Enery.Labs, we invite Master’s and PhD candidates from across Europe and beyond to collaborate with us on cutting-edge topics in energy systems, markets, and technology. Selected scholars will benefit from dedicated mentorship, exposure to real data and projects, and the opportunity to present their work at the Cross Border Dialogue Conference in Czechia.
The program is aimed at driven early-career researchers who want to turn their academic work into real-world impact:
- Master’s students currently working on their thesis in any energy-related discipline
- PhD candidates working on academic papers or research projects in advanced energy fields
We particularly welcome applicants with a strong quantitative background, interest in energy markets, and passion for accelerating the energy transition.
We invite applications in a broad range of energy-related fields, with a focus on the following areas:
- AI-driven portfolio optimization & energy trading algorithms
- Energy storage and flexibility management (e.g. batteries, market design)
- Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) design & risk hedging for industrial off-takers
- Power-to-heat systems & renewable industrial heat integration
- 24/7 green energy solutions & energy transition in CEE markets
Work outside these themes is also welcome if it clearly supports the decarbonization of energy systems.
Get guidance from Enery’s technical, commercial and energy market teams. Scholars can discuss their work with practitioners who develop, operate and optimize renewable energy assets every day.
The top three applicants will receive a EUR 1,500 cash award each.
Selected candidates will be invited to present their research at the Cross Border Dialogue Conference in Mikulov, Southern Moravia, Czechia. This is an opportunity to receive feedback from industry experts and build a professional network.
Travel arrangements and expenses for the conference and site visit are covered by Enery. Both the conference and the site visits are planned to take place in the period 28 April – 4 May 2026.
As part of the program, we organize a site visit to one of our renewable energy power plants in Austria which will give you the opportunity to bridge theory and practice.
