More about the project

The main objective of this graduate doctoral program called Doctoral school in Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEED) is to develop capacities of PhD researchers from Nepal, India and Bolivia for conducting research on complex developmental challenges and solving them with holistic and innovative system solutions; enhance their competencies to work in multidisciplinary research to address the complex developmental societal challenges. Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) leads the Doctoral school in Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEED) in collaboration with Linnaeus University and Lund University in Sweden, Kathmandu University in Nepal, TERI School of Advanced Studies in India and Universidad Mayor de San Simón in Bolivia.

PhD school highlights:

• Research mobility in Sweden (course work, research/publication work)
• A 2-days workshop on Multidisciplinary Developmental Research
• A 5-days course on Gender, Disaster and Climate Risk (3 ECTS) - offered by LTH, Lund University
• Four PhD Courses are the core of the mobility program
  
  • Sustainability Assessment and Policy Evaluation (6 ECTS) - offered by Linnaeus University
  • Diffusion of Innovations and Socio-technical transition (6 ECTS) - offered by Linnaeus University
  • Circular Economy, Energy systems and Poly-generation (6 ECTS) -offered by KTH
  • Nexus and climate agenda in energy systems (6 ECTS) - offered by KTH
• Co-supervision by a cross-country supervision team
• Bimonthly Webinar Series inviting prominent speakers who will address specific topics within Sustainable Energy Engineering Doctoral program (SEED) - hosted by Linnaeus University

The project is part of the research in the research group Sustainable Built Environment Research (SBER)
