BDSS 2025 "Accelerating Energy Transition towards Net Zero" is a 4-day event from 16th - 19th June, aiming to bring early career researchers and engineers to work together on a technical solution and business model for a real-world Energy Transition challenge proposed by our lead industrial partner, SSEN Transmission.

Participants will have two days of workshops (technical presentations and soft skill training) with some opportunities of working in groups to develop their technical solution and business model, and then pitch to a judging panel mainly formed by industry experts on the third day.

A post-competition one-day conference will bring international experts together to share their insights on how HVDC could benefit Net Zero.

This year's BDSS brings academic researchers and industry engineers together to collaborate with each other, aiming to strengthen the knowledge and experience sharing between academia and industry and facilitate the personal development and networking of summer school participants.
