NEXSYS PEOPLE

NexSys has talented people working across multiple disciplines and universities, partnering to deliver.  Click here for programme information. 

Academics from across NexSys are working on five programme hub strands (Energy Systems, Cities & Communities, Transport, Water and Offshore Wind) and four underpinning themes (Climate, Data, Finance and Society).

Each hub strand comprises work packages and projects.

This research on Energy Systems will determine how energy systems should evolve to have more renewable electricity towards 2030 and subsequently get to the net zero carbon goal by 2050.

This research on Cities & Communities enables local and national authorities, communities and businesses to make their cities inclusive, resilient and sustainable so as to become carbon-neutral cities. 

The Transport strand focuses on investigating the critical infrastructure, behavioural and policy challenges of transitioning to decarbonised multi-modal transport and renewable energy use in a fair way, and identifying tangible evidence-based solutions via engagement and collaboration of key stakeholders tasked with implementing them.

The Water strand focus here will enable water utilities to adapt to climate and energy targets by providing key services in terms of enabling a more efficient energy sector, being more resilient in the context of climate-driven hazards and events, and uptake new technology to enable efficient energy use in the water sector, more efficient water management at building and industry scale and by understanding the social and political contexts that are needed to underpin these changes.

The Offshore Wind strand focuses on reducing lifetime cost and risk of offshore wind technologies and operations for reliable, long-life, cheaper, hazard-aware and resilient electricity.
