Wubbo Ockels School Annual Report 2024 online
The public version of our Annual Report 2024 is online! Using a timeline, we take you through the past year of the Wubbo Ockels School for Energy and Climate. You can scroll through it or navigate via the School's core pillars.
Lorenzo Squintani, scientific director of the Wubbo Ockels School looks back: ''Looking back over the past year, we have gone from an idea to a concrete reality in 2024. Since our inception, we have focused on three key areas: green molecules, climate adaptation, and public participation. By 2024, these themes have evolved from ideas into fully-fledged aggregation centers: the Hydrogen Valley Campus Europe, the Public Participation Centre, and the Climate Adaptation Platform (CAP). Moreover, in 2024, in collaboration with the Jantina Tammes School of Digital Society, Technology, and AI, a fourth focus area emerged: the Twin Transition, which refers to the interaction between the digital and energy transitions."

Our annual report reflects on 2024 through a timeline of key events and four pillars: community, education, research, and impact. The Wubbo Ockels School is committed to building a strong community by embedding the university within existing energy and climate ecosystems. Our three centres—focused on hydrogen, public participation, and climate adaptation—are widely recognized and highly sought after by our partners in the North.
In 2024, we laid the foundation for creating impact and enabling the energy and climate transitions in the coming years. We align ourselves with the credos of our namesake Wubbo Ockels:
- We are all astronauts on Spaceship Earth
- Optimism about sustainability is a responsibility
- Sustainability is not less, but different and much more fun
