1 In memoriam Guest Professor Leo Schrattenholzer Energy and Climate Studies School of Industrial Engineering and Management  studied mathematics and energy economics in Vienna  leader of Environmentally Compatible Energy Systems, IIASA  long experience with energy scenarios and models  co-director of International Energy Workshop (IEW)  leading author in IPCC second report  many publications, two of which have been classified among the top ten ‘most influential papers’ in energy economics  taught in Graz, Vienna, Beijing – had just started a PhD course in Scenario Assessment at KTH…  will be very much missed by his colleagues

2 Energy and climate strategic platform KTH’s research, education and interaction with industry and society in the field of energy shall contribute with solutions towards sustainable energy systems to meet climate and socio-economic challenges in the world. This will be accomplished by working in the whole spectrum of basic research, product development, systems innovation, and market implementation in national and international collaboration.

3 Energy and Climate Studies Professor Semida Silveira PhD, Head of division School of Industrial Engineering and Management

4  build interdisciplinary team on energy systems studies at KTH  create new knowledge on systems studies and climate  combine and synthesize research on energy and climate  link scientific knowledge with policy and development Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

5 Searching for synergies biodiversity; socio-economic development in rural areas; economic robustness of local and global systems; climate change mitigation and adaptation optimize applications in competitive markets; project structure and finance; risk management; institutions resource management multiple use of resources structural changes in exchange flows between natural and human systems physical and institutional infrastructure conversion processes and performance; applications; resource management; improved efficiency Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

9 How to develop, integrate or improve energy systems? We address constraints and opportunities on the way to sustainability  planning and patterns of energy generation and use  resource competition and management  development needs and preferences  infrastructure and technology systems options  policies and incentives to change and innovate  financial sources and investment opportunities  institutional challenges Energy and Climate Studies at KTH

10 How to develop and build sustainable energy systems globally? We search systems solutions that:  satisfy criteria of efficiency, reliability and sustainability  are in line with markets and technology options  respond to climate change and development agendas  explore international co-operation, fully incorporating developing countries Energy and Climate Studies at KTH
