gEneSys “Transforming Gendered Interrelations of Power and Inequalities in Transition Pathways to Sustainable Energy Systems” is a European project coordinated by the Italian National Research Council -Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies, exploring all these facets of the gender-energy nexus with the aim of proposing pathways for a just and gender-equitable energy transition. The shift to renewable energy is an important change for society, both in the Global North and South, allowing us to produce energy without relying on fossil fuels. By employing technologies that have the potential to revolutionize industries, enhance efficiency, and create new economic opportunities, sustainable energy addresses global challenges such as climate change and societal needs. As with every sociotechnical revolution, this shift brings along challenges affecting the different subsystems involved in the energy transition processes. Inequalities and drawbacks can be reproduced or exacerbated at the environmental, economic, social, and political level.
The gEneSys Autumn School builds upon the project’s outcomes and the new knowledge generated through it to share a vision of energy transition as a socio-technical revolution with relevant social and gender challenges. The course aims at providing fellows from various disciplines with a training opportunity which merges science with society and delivers an overview on the future of energy.
Suitable for: Master and PhD students, post-docs in hard sciences, engineering, environmental studies, social sciences and humanities, economics and political sciences with research interest in energy transition. Early-stage researchers and science communicators participation is encouraged.
Fees and Grant support: students will pay no participation fees. Grant from the gEneSys project supports, partially or fully, the costs of international travel and accommodation, tuition, course materials, accommodation, lunches, social events and taxes.
