Energy and the Environment Summer School 2026

The Energy and the Environment Summer School (EESS) is an exciting opportunity to explore the science, technology and innovation driving the transition to a low-carbon future.

Through interactive lectures, hands-on laboratory sessions and field trips, students gain practical insights into renewable energy, power generation, carbon capture utilisation and storage, hydrogen fuels, nuclear power and energy storage. Working with international peers, students develop the skills, confidence and global perspective needed to tackle one of the greatest challenges that we currently face: how to power the world sustainably.

Students receive tuition from experts in the field, with practical learning in the laboratories of our world-class Diamond building. English for academic purposes is tightly integrated into the programme, so that students develop the technical communication skills needed to express complex engineering ideas clearly and professionally.

EESS is open to university students from across the globe, and runs over two weeks in July.

We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of our Summer 2026 school and you can read the full update to learn more about our students' progress and achievements here.
