DTU PES Summer School Site

The DTU PES Summer School is an annual event founded by Jalal Kazempour in 2016, bringing together 60–70 PhD students and early-career researchers selected from over 150 applicants worldwide for five days of lectures, discussions, and networking. Speakers have included leading researchers from MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, ETH Zurich, EPFL, TU Delft, Johns Hopkins University, and Imperial College London, among others. The school has been generously sponsored over the years by EES-UETP (Electric Energy Systems University Enterprise Training Partnership), RTE, MOSEK ApS, and the Danish Data Science Academy (DDSA). Nine editions have taken place to date, with the 2020 and 2021 editions cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 edition had an exceptional planned lineup including William Hogan and Ross Baldick, among others. Slides and video recordings from each edition are archived below.
