& energy systems network
Knocking over industry , community , and government barriers to decarbonisation
Research network
The Electrification & Energy Systems Network ( EESN ) is part of the NSW Decarbonisation Innovation Hub , a partnership between four leading NSW universities ( UNSW , University of Technology Sydney , University of Newcastle , University of Wollongong ). The Hub has a dual mission : to accelerate the decarbonisation of industry , community , and government , and drive innovation from the lab through to commercialisation , scale , and impact .
The network has a series of industry-oriented projects in the pipeline due to launch in 2024 . It also plans to invite partner universities to submit seed funding proposals that align with the network ' s strategic initiatives and support projects that contribute to its goals .
As part of its mission , EESN seeks to create a thriving ClimateTech research community across nine leading NSW universities , designed to share information on commercialisation pathways and upskill and network with ecosystem players and like-minded researchers .
