Applicants are now invited to submit applications for the €20,000 Elsevier-ISES Renewable Transformation Challenge to recognize and honor outstanding work towards a world powered by renewable energy and with accessible energy for all.
.
This objective is consistent with the vision of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES), which is for a world powered by 100% renewable energy used efficiently and wisely and accessible for all. To achieve this vision, a global transformation of our energy systems to efficient and affordable renewable energy must take place.
.
The Challenge promotion is administered every two years to recognize accomplishments by organizations such as private enterprises, NGOs, and research institutions for undertaking projects and programs that help move the world toward an energy system supplied entirely by renewable energy sources, or for conducting the critical analyses that provide meaningful roadmaps for the transformation.
.
In the context of this Challenge, the energy transformation applies to all end-use energy consumption: power, heat, and transport.
