What is the Wubbo Ockels School for Energy and Climate?
The Wubbo Ockels School (WOS) is a network organisation, open to all interested parties, and characterised by these three aspects:
-
Interdisciplinary research and learning are promoted
-
Research questions and education are designed and developed within a community of interested academic staff from different faculties
-
The WOS collaborates with the outside world, including other knowledge institutions, businesses, and societal organisations both domestically and internationally
Additionally, the WOS acts as a knowledge broker by sharing knowledge to support informed decision-making in government, politics, business, and other sectors. In principle, all activities of the school also provide direct added value for researchers and students. This added value consists of:
-
The emergence of new research partnerships - both among scientists from different faculties and between partners within and outside the university - which can lead to innovative questions and breakthroughs benefiting the academic world and society
-
More opportunities for researchers to be visible in and engage with society
-
The creation of new channels for research funding through external partners
-
New content for education and new teaching methods for students who want to contribute to solving regional and global challenges
-
Students developing new knowledge and skills through collaboration and learning with people from other disciplines and through interaction with external parties, enhancing their employability
-
Additional opportunities for students and researchers to connect with relevant employers (networking and learning from the outside world)
