🌍✨Erasmus+ Energy Student Project Impact Analysis Report: Coming Soon!✨🌍 We’re thrilled to announce that the Erasmus+ Energy Challenges Project impact analysis report will soon be finalised. This report captures the positive changes in student interest and behavior regarding sustainability, decarbonisation, and energy-saving after participating in the Energy Student pilot project in the Netherlands and Slovenia. The results are truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to share them with you! 📊 Key Findings: 1. Increased Interest in Sustainability: The majority of students, especially 9-year-olds and 13-year-olds, showed a significant increase in interest in decarbonisation topics, with an average increase of +8 percentage points across 17 classes. 2. Interest in Sustainable Careers: 12 out of 17 classes showed more interest in pursuing technical studies or careers related to sustainability, with an average increase of +12 percentage points, successfully meeting our goal of sparking interest in future careers. 3. Engagement in Sustainable Practices: Teachers reported that students were eager to implement practical, sustainable practices at school, showing a heightened awareness of energy consumption and a growing desire to reduce their carbon footprint. 4. Teacher Insights: While teachers expressed a passion for environmental issues, some highlighted a gap in knowledge regarding European environmental policies. This shows an opportunity for further professional development to enhance their ability to teach about sustainability. 💡 Looking Ahead: We recommend using more detailed statistical methods in future research to measure impact more precisely: 👩🏫 A “Teach the Teacher” initiative could help educators better track changes in student behaviour. 🤝 To better understand the long-term effects, we might consider creating an alumni network for past participants. 🏘 Lastly, future projects could explore how students apply what they’ve learned at home, bringing sustainability beyond the classroom. 🌱 This project is just the beginning, but it’s clear that we are making a meaningful difference in shaping the future of our planet. Stay tuned for the full impact analysis report coming soon! 🌟 #ErasmusPlus #energychallenges #decarbonization #FutureLeaders #sustainable #ClimateAction #energystudent #ImpactReport

In an era where innovation is key, it's inspiring to see universities leading the charge in smart building initiatives. These institutions are not just shaping minds but also shaping the future of sustainable and intelligent infrastructure. Here's to the academic leaders who are setting the bar high for campuses around the globe! #Sustainability #HigherEducation #Innovation 

🌍 #SustainabilityMatters in education! As institutions shape the next generation, it's essential they lead by example in environmental responsibility. Reducing energy consumption on campus not only lessens environmental impact, but also unlocks cost savings that can be reinvested in academic growth. Let’s continue to push for smarter energy management and build a sustainable future for our students! 📚💡 #SustainabilityWednesday #GreenEducation #SmartEnergy #InternationalEducation Check out these actionable tips on how schools can take the lead: https://lnkd.in/d3NtAHfa

Students and researchers from around the world are coming to the Netherlands to learn from the Dutch approach to tackling the energy transition. Read the story of eight Massachusetts Institute of Technology students who recently crossed the pond to explore Dutch clean energy efforts: https://lnkd.in/dxKmx6Ay It's one example of how Dutch values of sustainability are driving collaboration and innovation towards a better tomorrow.

Dear Educational Institutions Are you phasing down on fossil fuel education? Did you arm your graduates with green skills? Are your graduates part of the green energy transition? Insights from “The World Economic Forum”: - 78% of organizations are building ESG strategies and 94% don’t have the talent needed to implement them - 1 in 8 people globally possess skills relevant to climate change mitigation - 68% of energy degrees focus on fossil fuels, compared to 32% on renewables. Educational institutions need to reform: - Prioritize renewable energy programs - Align education systems with the needs of a green economy. - Accelerate reskilling initiatives to ensure graduates thrive in this transition. The window for action is narrowing. At the current pace, renewable-focused education won’t reach 100% until 2107. Will you wait until 2107? I’m gonna be 107 by then 😤 Or become a pioneer in reskilling your graduates? Sincerely,  Your fellow graduate   P.S: Do you think you have the necessary skillsets for the green energy transition?

Empowering the Next Generation: The Future of Sustainable Practices As we navigate the complexities of climate change, it's crucial that we prioritise educating and involving the next generation in sustainable practices. Our young minds are the future leaders, innovators, and change-makers who will shape the world we live in. Why Educating the Next Generation Matters By 2030, 75% of the global workforce will be comprised of millennials and Gen Z. They will be the ones driving the transition to a sustainable economy. Young people are more likely to adopt sustainable practices and advocate for environmental causes, leading to a ripple effect of positive change. Education and involvement from a young age can instill a sense of responsibility, curiosity, and passion for sustainability, setting them up for a lifetime of environmental stewardship. The Importance of Renewable Energy Independence Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and renewable energy is a crucial part of the solution. Road based energy generation, Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate carbon emissions. By involving the next generation in renewable energy solutions, we're not only ensuring a sustainable future but also fostering innovation and job creation. What We Can Do: Encourage schools and universities to incorporate sustainable practices and environmental education into their curricula. Support programs and initiatives that promote environmental awareness and education among young people. Mentor and provide opportunities for young professionals to develop their skills and knowledge in sustainable practices. Advocate for policies and regulations that support renewable energy independence and reduce carbon emissions. Let's Work Together to Empower the Next Generation Join me in this effort to educate and involve the next generation in sustainable practices. Let's work together to create a brighter future for all.

My journey as a Student Energy fellow Post 1: Markets and Finance In the 'Technology and Innovation' unit, we explored the challenges that many new energy innovations face on the path to commercialization and the role that strong innovation ecosystems play in addressing these challenges. The innovation ecosystem provides the landscape for a diverse set of actors from universities, governments, and corporations to students, entrepreneurs, and investors, to come together to build relationships and share resources, driving innovative solutions to the world’s energy challenges. As previously discussed, one of the key challenges faced in bringing new innovations to market, at scale, is access to financial resources. This unit will dive deeper into the financial systems, institutions, and actors involved in energy investments, as well as the key markets that influence the global energy sector.  Copyright: Student Energy Anaïs Matthey-Junod Richard Dusabe Alliance for Rural Electrification Global Sustainability Partnership Network (GSPN) Anton Petrus / Getty Images
