LARS is a residential training addressing researchers with modeling skills who are keen to support the energy policy and regulatory debate.
During the three days in Florence, academic presentations will be followed by testimonials from the policy world and industrial representatives and journal editors in the field of energy economics and engineering will share insights on how to create a presence in academia with relevant publications. Participants will also apply what they have learned in the course by exchanging feedback on the research papers submitted by other participants, with additional coaching from the instructors in the course.
The 2023 edition will be held exclusively in a residential format, thus only a selected number of participants will be admitted.
Participants’ selection is based on the quality of the submitted research papers and a short motivation letter. We accept working papers, papers under review, and papers that have already been published. Please specify the status of your paper and why you seek additional feedback. By submitting your paper to this Autumn School, you also have the opportunity to win the annual Loyola Award.
Please note: Participants will receive a response regarding their admission after the registration deadline.
The Florence School of Regulation and the Loyola de Palacio Chair are organizing this Autumn School for Researchers in consortium with the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence “Integrated Energy Systems” and Turin Polytechnic University.
LARS is for researchers with modeling skills who want to support the energy policy and regulatory debate. During the three days of the school, presentations from academics using modeling to assess policies and regulations will be followed by testimonials from (former) policymakers and industrial representatives who will share their experience working with academics. Finally, journal editors in the field of energy economics and engineering will offer suggestions and insights on how to create a presence in academia with relevant publications. We will also discuss what researchers can do when there is no time to do modeling but still want to make a valuable contribution to the debate. Participants will also apply what they have learned in the course by giving and receiving feedback on the research papers submitted by other participants, with additional coaching from the instructors in the course.
This training is the successor of 3 successful editions of the ”Summer School on Energy Systems for Young Researchers”.
The aim of the training is:
After completing the course, participants will be able to:
The training is designed for Ph.D. students, post-doctoral researchers, academics, and researchers interested in crafting research that impacts energy policy and regulation.
A minimum understanding of quantitative research methods is required. A background (Ph.D. or equivalent research experience) in engineering, energy economics, or energy-related topics is recommended
The course will last three days. The first two days are structured with presentations from academics in the morning and applied workshops and testimonials in the afternoon. The course’s final day will have insights and presentations from scholars and journal editors.
The structure of the course is as follows:
4 October 2023: Using modeling in a policy/regulatory debate
5 October 2023: No time for modeling? Using conceptual frameworks in a policy/regulatory debate
6 October 2023: How to publish and build an academic career with applied research
The workload is expected to be 8 hours/day during the course and approximately ten to fifteen hours before the beginning of the course.
Please note that only a selected number of participants will be admitted. Participants are required to enclose to their registration form:
