International Summer University on Renewable Energies: Registration now open
ISUenergy participants experimenting during a practical.
On behalf of the ISUenergy Scientific & Organising Committee it is a great pleasure to announce the 6th International Summer University on Renewable Energies and to invite your applications for this year's ISUenergy .The ISUenergy2014 will take place from Aug. 24th - Sept. 5th in Falera.
The International Summer University on Energy (ISUenergy 2014) invites you to participate in two unforgettable weeks to learn, experience and enjoy a series of seminars and lectures on renewable energies in the Swiss Alps. The school integrates different academic fields such as Physics, Material Science, Material Engineering, Architecture, Political Science and Economics, and it follows the successful ISUenergy 2009, ISUenergy 2010, ISUenergy 2011, ISUenergy 2012, and ISUenergy 2013.
The ISUenergy 2014 will provide students with a solid foundation in photovoltaics, solar thermal technologies, wind energy, solar architecture, sustainability, smart grids and energy storage. Renowned researchers and scientists from leading universities and institutes will give lectures covering a wide range of topics on the principles of renewable energy. Theoretical knowledge will be complemented with practical workshops in the first week and creative group projects (e. g. building a solar oven or installation of a LED lightening system) in the second week with special on hands-on experience.
Please find more information on the international summer university and on the application procedure under the following link. Early bird fee applications will be valid before May 15th, 2014, only.
The ISUenergy program website will be updated accordingly.

- Perovskite solar cells: New Young Investigator Group funded by BMBF at HZBIn the COMET-PV project, Dr Artem Musiienko aims to significantly accelerate the development of perovskite solar cells. He is using robotics and AI to analyse the many variations in the material composition of tin-based perovskites. The physicist will set up a Young Investigator Group at HZB. He will also have an affiliation with Humboldt University in Berlin, where he will gain teaching experience in preparation for a future professorship.
- HZB-postdoc Feng Liang becomes associate Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong UniversityDr. Feng Liang has joined the HZB Institute Solar Fuels in 2021. Now, he has secured an associate professorship at the Green Hydrogen Innovation Center in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, China. He will start to build up his research team in June 2025.
- Strategisches Positionspapier zur Stärkung der SolarindustrieFrankfurt, 06. März 2025 – Die führenden deutschen Solarforschungseinrichtungen, die Fachabteilung „Photovoltaik Produktionsmittel“ des Industrieverbands VDMA und das Produktionsplanungs-Unternehmen RCT Solutions, haben ein gemeinsames Positionspapier zur Stärkung der deutschen und europäischen Solarindustrie veröffentlicht. Dieses wird nun an die Parteien übermittelt, die nach der Bundestagswahl im Bundestag vertreten sind. Ziel ist es, die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen in die Koalitionsverhandlungen einzubringen und damit die Grundlage für eine widerstandsfähige und wettbewerbsfähige Solarindustrie in Deutschland zu schaffen.
