The Sustainable Energy Systems Doctoral Program (SES PhD) is a three- to four-year degree jointly offered at each of the Portuguese Institutions participating in the MIT Portugal Sustainable Energy Systems Program. The objective of the PhD Program on Sustainable Energy Systems is to use a multi-disciplinary approach to educate a new generation of sustainability-aware leaders with expertise in energy systems and economics. A focus on energy system design and analysis, research, and leadership and entrepreneurship provides graduates with the tools to be at the forefront of sustainable energy systems development.

The Doctoral Programme in Sustainable Energy Systems covers the Doctoral Congress of Engineering registration costs for students of FEUP enrolled in this Doctoral Programme who register by June 1st.

Papers can be submitted in the following areas:

  • Sustainable Built Environment
  • Energy Planning, including Economics
  • Smart Energy Networks
