wholeSEM particularly welcomes PhD contributions to the conference by having a dedicated poster session to showcase PhD student research into building or linking energy models.

This is a great opportunity for PhD students to present their research to leading experts in industry and academia.

“Attending last year’s wholeSEM annual conference as a PhD student allowed me to present my research to energy modelling experts from across academia, government and industry. The quick-fire presentation format was intense but very stimulating, and I had a number of really useful follow-up conversations on my work” Kathrin Volkart, PSI (best student presentation, wholeSEM conference 2015)
