Energy systems around the world are undergoing rapid and far-reaching change. With increasing renewable generation, exposure of infrastructure assets and evolving energy demand, the need for weather and climate resilient energy systems has never been greater. At the same time, weather and climate science is progressing: from the emergence of skilful AI prediction systems and advances in downscaling, to the use of very large climate ensembles and decadal forecasts to understand climate risk.
This fast-moving landscape presents both opportunities and challenges for “energy‑climate” research. Since its first edition in 2020, the vision of NextGenEC has been to draw together researchers from the energy- and climate- sciences, highlighting the ‘state of the art’ and forging links across disciplines to explore new scientific opportunities. You can find out about our newest event here and details of previous editions can be found here (2022, 2021, 2020) alongside a report from our first workshop and a perspective article in Joule on Overcoming the disconnect between energy system and climate modelling. Details and videos of our 2022 webinar series are here.
NextGenEC returns in September 2024, focusing on the following themes:
- AI in energy and climate modelling
- Opportunities and Challenges of Large Climate Ensembles for Energy System Planning
- How can the climate and energy mitigation synergies in the IPCC AR7 cycle be enhanced?
- Science for stakeholders
- Using climate data in energy-modelling
The workshop will feature:
- Plenary talks
- Interactive breakout groups
- Opportunities for participants to present their own research
The event is online‑only and free‑to‑attend. If you would like to join us, please use the registration link on our webpage or as given above.
Further programme information will be added to the webpage as it becomes available and joining details will be sent prior to the event. You are also encouraged to join the conversation before, during and after the workshop (and to hear news about future NextGenEC events, job opportunities, new research papers & datasets) via our slack‑channel:
