ISEL is launching a new PhD program in Decarbonization and Energy Transition, scheduled to begin in the 2026/2027 academic year. This is the institution’s second doctoral program, coming just two months after the launch of the program in Cyber-Physical Systems for Sustainable Development.The PhD program in Decarbonization and Energy Transition aims to train highly qualified specialists in this field—namely, professionals with a strong background in Engineering or related areas, capable of performing at the highest level in companies, regulatory bodies, higher education institutions, and/or research units. Their work will focus on the relevant and emerging areas of decarbonization and energy transition, from a dual perspective: technical, related to the design, sizing, and implementation of sustainable energy systems; and economic, enabling the assessment of financial resources involved, their profitability over the operational period, and their integration into energy markets.To achieve these goals, graduates are expected to acquire in-depth knowledge of energy source accessibility, energy generation and supply systems, environmental and sustainability implications, clean and low-carbon technologies, resource economics, constraints on implementation and operation, alignment with global energy issues, tariff-setting and regulatory strategies, and integration into global and regional energy markets.In addition to the coursework component, doctoral candidates will develop a thesis focused on specific aspects of this field, ensuring integration between Economics and Management and Engineering components. The theses will address real-world problems (even if conceptually), of high complexity, and will preferably be developed in a business environment. The study cycle will be taught entirely in person, with a total of 210 ECTS and an approximate duration of three and a half years.The teaching staff consists of PhD-qualified professors from ISEL in the fields of Engineering, Economics, Management, and Energy. Seminars featuring business-sector specialists, representatives from energy regulatory bodies, and researchers in these areas are also planned.
