CE Synergy Erasmus: Advancing Sustainable Energy Practices Through Education

The CE Synergy Erasmus project is making strides in fostering a deeper understanding of resource consumption and circularity within energy systems, vital for the green energy transition.

Our first consortium meeting took place in the beautiful city of Lisbon, hosted by Instituto Superior Técnico (The University of Lisbon), the largest Portuguese university. We were joined by our incredible project partners: Silesian University of Technology, The Institute of Technology and Education of the University of Bremen, Gebze Technical University, Training2000, and Innowo. Together, we explored the best solutions for promoting sustainable energy practices.

One of the critical challenges we face in the green energy transition is the growing scarcity of essential minerals—such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements—required for renewable technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles. This scarcity highlights the need for resource efficiency, circular economy practices, and the exploration of alternative materials to support sustainability.

To address this, CESYNERGY is tackling a significant gap in education. By providing comprehensive knowledge about material consumption in the context of the energy transition, the project aims to equip future engineers and decision-makers with the tools they need to make informed, sustainable choices and contribute effectively to the green energy movement.

Through the development of Circular Economy Pathways for the Energy Transition, we’re offering courses tailored to various levels of expertise, ensuring that learners at all stages of their educational journey can benefit from the content.
