Abstract: Energy system modelling is essential for guiding clean energy transitions, yet most frameworks are not well suited to African contexts. As countries accelerate renewable deployment and electrification, there is a growing need for locally relevant tools and stronger modelling capacity.

This lecture focuses on the specific needs of African countries in pursuing sustainable, inclusive, and resilient energy transitions. It highlights key challenges, including data scarcity and the gap between modelling outputs and policy implementation. Drawing on Africa–Europe collaboration and the EU funded EMERGE project, the session showcases examples of tools that support national planning, enhance decision-making, and enable more effective investment strategies for a green African transition.

ESEIA LECTURE SERIES

The ESEIA Lecture Series Sustainable Energy Innovation Systems for Climate Neutrality aims to provide a platform for perspectives exchange between different societal actors on what must be done to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

The invited speakers for the lectures are experts in their fields, which makes this series organised in cooperation with the Graz University of Technology an excellent educational and networking platform for everyone interested in creating a climate-neutral future.

For students, participation can also be recognised through ECTS credits — learn more about Academic Recognition (ECTS Credits).

Adaptive Reuse of Buildings and Urban Spaces

On 11 June 2026, the 18th ESEIA Lecture: Adaptive Reuse of Buildings and Urban Spaces  brought together 25 participants from 9 countries, to explore how existing buildings and underused urban spaces can be transformed to support climate neutrality, social inclusion, and sustainable urban development. The topic aligns closely with the core values of the New European Bauhaus, which promotes sustainability, inclusiveness, and beauty as essential dimensions of Europe’s green transition.

Smart Production for Sustainable Materials

On 4 December 2025, the 16th ESEIA Lecture Series: Smart Production for Sustainable Materials, held online, gathered 23 participants from 7 countries for an insightful dialogue on the emerging role of biofabrication and natural materials in Europe’s green transition. The lecture highlighted how smart production processes can accelerate sustainable material innovation, strengthen circularity in the built environment, and support EU ambitions for climate neutrality by 2050.

Science Diplomacy. Geopolitics of Science

On 12 June 2025, the 14th edition of the ESEIA Lecture Series | Science Diplomacy. Geopolitics of Science gathered 21 participants from 9 countries and 13 organisations for a timely discussion on the evolving role of science diplomacy in today’s rapidly shifting geopolitical context. Held online, the lecture spotlighted how scientific collaboration can advance global cooperation, shape energy and climate policies, and support the implementation of the Clean Industrial Deal.

The Uptake of Renewables in European Local Communities

On 3 April 2025, ESEIA hosted the 13th Lecture about The Uptake of Renewables in European Local Communities, bringing together 38 participants from 11 countries — Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), Finland (FI), Latvia (LV), Morocco (MA), Nigeria (NG), Netherlands (NL), Portugal (PT), Romania (RO), Slovenia (SI), and the United Kingdom (UK) — representing 21 organizations. The online session offered a timely and thought-provoking discussion on how to accelerate the uptake of renewable energy solutions in European local communities.

Energy System Modelling in EU and AU

On 5 December 2024, ESEIA hosted the 12th ESEIA Lecture: Energy System Modelling in EU and AU  in its renowned series, “Sustainable Energy Innovation Systems for Climate Neutrality.” The online event brought together 43 participants from 20 organisations in 18 countries, 12 European of which 7 were from INITIATE HORIZON EUROPE PROJECT and 6 AU from Ethiopia, Cape Verde, Morocco, Mozambique, and Nigeria  –  showcasing expert insights into the transformative potential of energy system modelling for advancing sustainable energy and resource management in both the European Union and African Union contexts.

Circular Bioeconomy Start-Up Villages – From Idea to Market

On 24 October 2024, the ESEIA 11th Lecture Series, Circular Bioeconomy Start-Up Villages – From Idea to Market, was held both onsite at the TU Graz Aula and live-streamed online. Over 40 participants from 12 countries attended the event. Evelyn Reinmuth from the University of Hohenheim delivered a keynote, introducing circular bioeconomy start-up villages as ecosystems that foster local innovation by combining regional resources with global market access.

Advanced Tools for Planning and Management of Climate Neutral Buildings

The ninth lecture, delivered by the Building Energy Senior Researcher at the International Energy Research Centre (IERC) Carlos Ochoa on 18 April 2024, focused on the importance of carbon neutrality in the building sector and the role advanced tools can play in achieving climate targets.

De‐Fossilization of Industry and Mobility: How can it work?

The seventh lecture, delivered by Georg Brasseur, former President of the Division of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, on 21 September 2023, focused on de-fossilisation pathways for industry and mobility in Europe.

Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems in Sustainable Communities in the EU and Africa

The fifth event took place on 22 June 2023, featuring two lectures on the WEFE Nexus delivered by Thomas Schauppenlehner, Senior Scientist at the Institute of Landscape Development, Recreation and Conservation Planning at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), and Richard Wheeler, EU Project Advisor at ESEIA. 

Repower Europe

The second lecture, delivered by the ESEIA Vice-President and President of the Portuguese National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (LNEG) Teresa Ponce de Leão on 17 November 2022, focused on how the European Commission’s REPowerEU plan will shape the energy system in Europe.

Photovoltaic Systems and their Applications

The first lecture, delivered by the ESEIA Vice-President and Head of Energy Research at Tyndall National Institute Brian Norton on 6 October 2022, focused on PV systems, their applications, and the challenges and opportunities that come with them.
