About TRANSIT: TRANSIT (TRANSITion to sustainable future through training and education) is a project funded by the European Commission under the program #HorizonEurope that aims to provide sustainable training and re-skilling programmes for current and future generations on a multidisciplinary approach in renewable energy. In achieving this, TRANSIT seeks to enable the societal changes that will encompass the high ambitions of deployment and transformation of the energy sector in the next decades through the design and delivering of an overall educational, retraining and social engagement programme covering different sectoral strategies and stakeholders.  

🌊🔋 Advancing Offshore Renewable Energy! 🔋🌊 During our recent internship in collaboration with Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN) and EnerOcean S.L. we explored innovative technologies in offshore energy, including floating wind platforms and oceanic monitoring systems. These innovations are not only driving renewable energy forward but also promoting sustainability in marine ecosystems. 🌍 Key learnings: Integrating wind and wave energy systems for greater efficiency Utilizing autonomous robots and advanced sensors for real-time ocean data Emphasizing the balance between sustainability and technological advancements 🌱 This collaboration between academia and industry is shaping the future of energy. Let's power a cleaner, greener world together!⚡🌿    #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #OffshoreWind #CleanTech

Expect insightful discussions and real-world case studies! 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eRfvvcai Agenda Highlights: Overview of the TRANSIT Project Strategies for integrating gender equality in the energy transition Developing gender-inclusive education and training programs Monitoring and evaluating gender equality initiatives Don't miss the chance to be part of this important conversation! After the workshop, we’ll share additional resources to further support your efforts in this critical area.

Please join us for an upcoming virtual workshop, Catalyzing Change: Societal Shifts in the Global Energy Transition, hosted by the transitproject. The workshop will explore one of the most critical challenges of the energy transition: the multiple interrelated societal factors galvanizing the transition. The workshop is led by a panel of experts from the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence. The discussion will extend beyond the technological frontiers of the energy transition to examine socio-economic, socio-technical, educational and training factors, as well as other key drivers and barriers of the energy transition. Event Details: - Date: September 30th - Time: 11 AM ( CET, GMT+02:00) - Speakers: Stella Hadjistassou, Sarah Jalilvand - Registration link: https://short.upm.es/4t9mx - Zoom link:  https://short.upm.es/u27qk Please register to participate in a thought-provoking discussion (link https://short.upm.es/4t9mx). Your participation will contribute to meaningful dialogue and will help you gain new insights into the societal enablers and barriers of the energy transition. The workshop is open to all interested stakeholders. We would be honored to have you join us in shaping this important conversation. #TRANSITproject #Workshop

The TRANSIT project is an EU initiative that aims to bridge the knowledge gaps and address challenges related to large-scale deployment of renewable energy solutions across Europe. One of the key goals of TRANSIT is to provide sustainable training and reskilling programs on a multidisciplinary approach to renewable energy for current and future generations. The project focuses on identifying global and local challenges hindering the widespread adoption of renewable energy, taking into account socio-economic-environmental aspects and externalities. TRANSIT aims to create a future-proof framework for educational programmes informed by industry-academic collaborations, instilling knowledge about circularity concepts like recyclable-by-design and critical raw materials. We’re developing dedicated educational materials, delivering hands-on training and providing internships at world-leading research centres, to fill knowledge gaps and upskill the workforce. You can view our online courses here: https://lnkd.in/dmWu8QbA The project brings together a balanced mix of stakeholders from EU regions and beyond, including policymakers, large industries, trade associations, universities, research organisations, and community engagement groups.

🤝 One of TRANSIT project core activities is developing internships for international trainees, who visit a business related to energy transition to learn and discover weaknesses and strengths. Based on the principle of “learning by doing”, the participant’s experience during the two-week visit to the host company allow them to learn first-hand about the real challenges of the renewable energy industry in terms of best practices, needs, and expectations. The experience gained can be then transferred to multidisciplinary education and training programs. Two more internships finished recently: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charalambos, from Cyprus, had the opportunity to visit Certification Entity for Renewable Eenergies (CERE), by UL Solutions in Madrid, Spain. He described the experience as follows: "From my experience, I find the area that CERE deals with very interesting, as it is very close to my job responsibilities as a research engineer dealing with power systems and renewable energy. I received a very friendly and constructive approach from the company's employees, especially from Samuel Rodríguez Carmona. Samuel, with his knowledge and very constructive attitude, helped me successfully complete the training goals and acquire knowledge, improving my skills to use programs such as PyCharm and DIgSILENT." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ester, from Tanzania, had the opportunity to visit Elektrodistribucija Srbije doo Belgrade, an electricity distribution company in Serbia. In the words of ester, "I deeply appreciate the opportunity to observe the practical operation of the distribution network and connect my theoretical knowledge with real-world practices. Understanding the challenges you encounter in running the network and how you address them, as well as your approach to network planning, has been an invaluable experience." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #TRANSITinternships
