Join the RED WoLF summer school 2021: an online, flexible, part-time programme where students will work in interdisciplinary groups to problem-solve real world challenges relating to social and environmental sustainability.
RED WoLF stands for ‘Rethink Electricity Distribution Without Load Following’. The RED WoLF Project aims to increase the use of renewables and reduce CO 2 emissions from home electricity. The project utilises technology to store renewable energy output from the Power Grid at times of low demand, so it can be used when demand is higher. Find out more about the project here.
RED WoLF and Students Organising for Sustainability UK (SOS-UK) are launching an exciting collaborative student challenge summer school to demonstrate the importance of students from all disciplines in tackling real-world sustainability challenges. The summer school will take place entirely online from June 2021 – August 2021, where small groups will develop impactful projects or initiatives addressing real-world challenges faced by the RED WoLF project.
Through taking part in the RED WoLF summer school, you will develop and demonstrate transferable professional and academic skills and apply them to challenges which are addressing the climate emergency, with potential to make a real impact on the RED WoLF project outcomes. You will also have the opportunity to meet and work with new like-minded students from across North-West Europe, and present to high profile stakeholders. All students will be provided a certificate and digital badge upon completion of the programme to demonstrate your participation, and the skills you’ve gained.
The summer school is extra-curricular and voluntary with an expected time commitment of roughly 0.5 – 1 day per week over the eight-week programme (flexible around other commitments).
