    Welcome to the Course

    Renewable Energy is not sustainable just as it is, but we will need to take into account many aspects of circular economy to ensure that renewable energy we produce and storage a sustainable. This is the focus on this course. You do not need to have previous knowledge of energy storage systems or circular economy (but they will be good background). The circular economy theory is then applied to different energy storage systems. Here we consider all circular economy layers, with the focus on the material design:

    Note that the first module will start on 18th October . 

    The whole course is fully online and can be taken also from other locations than from Finland. The theory sessions are online videos that all students can take a look with their own timetable. The course includes individual 4 modules, where students view videos, search and read material and apply their learning to their own energy storage application. This 3 ECTS course only includes a personal tasks and you can select the application you apply the theory yourself of the list that will be provided. For the 5 ECTS module, the students will prepare also posters on their findings, so if you like to join, the times are here (not obligatory for the course). This is also a forum to have join discussion.
