1. Objectives and missions

Applied Energy Summer School (AEss), aims tobuild an academic, professional and persistent community for young scholars andexperts by providing training courses, teamwork projects, plant touropportunities and career development. The missions of AEss are:

Co-locationfosters collaboration, innovation and multi-disciplinary comprehension through face-to-facecommunication and training courses;

Collaborationleads to creative integration and system solutions to complex problems by exploringlinkages among different energy system components and developing a framework ofsystem integration;

Careerdevelopment shapes the future of youth with interactive exchange with editors, entrepreneurs,product producers, decision makers and investors.

After the success of the previous summer schools,AEss will continue working with CEADs (China Emission Accounts and Datasets, www.ceads.net) together to organize the eventat Tsinghua University, Beijing. CEADs gathers a group of experts from the Europe,USA and China to work on China’s emission accounting methods and applications. Providingaccurate and most up-to-date emission data is the duty of the whole academic fieldfor policy stakeholders and the public.

2. Scope and Tasks

The scope for the AEss 2018: EEW is energy-emission-water nexus at global cities.

Cities are central to global climate change mitigationand the implementation of low-carbon development strategies. The main objectiveof the summer school is to understand a feasible methodology for constructing territorial CO2 emissions inventories for generic Chinese cities. By applying thismethodology, students will calculate the CO2 emissions for cities. Togetherwith further water data searched at city level, students are able to performtheir own calculation about water-energy-emission nexus. The technology of multi-viewdata and visualization will also be applied during the studies.

3. Program Design

The summer school will be delivered through a combinationof academic lectures, career development module, and team-project-design.

4. Target Audience

AEss: EEW invites highly motivated international students (final year undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students) and young scientiststo join us. We also welcome lectures for the summer school.

Experts from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, University of East Anglia, Tsinghua University, other well-known international research institutes, andthe prestigious press like Elsevier and/or Nature will guide students the trainingcourses, discussions, research and project-design.
