Open Call for Energy Transition Exhibition
Round one deadline: 12.09.22
This open call is open ºÚÁÏÍø students, staff and researchers to submit proposals for inclusion in an exhibition focusing on Energy Transitions at Dipoli Gallery and Online from March-June 2023.
This is an exhibition exploring Energy and Energy Transitions.
Energy Transition is a term which refers to the process of changing global energy production and consumption from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. The global energy crisis and climate crisis are interlinked and international policy mandates from the United Nations such as the , Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) including treaties such as the committing to significantly lowering carbon emissions. But is this an effective enough strategy? As well as reducing carbon emissions, the entire energy system requires a radical restructuring, including how we store energy and the ecological and ethical impacts of minerals and raw materials such as cobalt and nickel in batteries. These bring with them further socio-political and socio-economic challenges. What does an effective transition to renewable energy sources require and what is the role of Hydrogen and Wind power in our energy future?
This open call is seeking proposals which engage with the topic of energy transitions and the challenges and solutions driving our response to the global energy crisis across research and industry.
We welcome proposals and expressions of interest for projects which engage with the issues of climate, sustainability and energy transition across disciplines and fields of study. This exhibition aims to highlight the role of university research in prototyping, testing and sustainable energy systems on society, environment, infrastructure, science, technology and education.
If you are preparing an event related to the theme of this exhibition between March and June 2023, please get in touch to let us know.
The final projects will be selected in October / November 2022. The Energy Transition Exhibition will be held in Dipoli Gallery, Aalto University in March 2023.
For further information contact Edel O’Reilly, Curator, Aalto Exhibitions Team, Leadership Support Services.
