Our Springschool took place in Karlsruhe from 11 to 15 March with a total of 44 participants. With the aim of promoting interdisciplinary cooperation and creating a common basis for the first project phase, the programme included lectures from the various areas of the SPP. Practical sessions included testing electricity prices for different types of power plants in a simulation game and practising the presentation of their own project in a Project Speed Dating. 
During a trip to a pumped hydro storage power plant, the students were then able to experience another variant of energy storage at first hand.
A highlight for many participants were the student seminars, in which the doctoral students presented their fields of research and what they are currently working on. 

A big thank you to all the helping hands!

The first meeting of all participating projects of the priority programme! Besides lively exchange and discussions, a hike and networking were on the agenda.
