Every year, high-ranking speakers from the industry and science are invited to the Energy Technology Seminar at the University of Bayreuth to give advanced students an insight into current projects and research areas of energy technology. The various speakers present projects, research topics and applications from the fields of biological, chemical, electrical and thermal energy technology.

The seminar is organized by the Center of Energy Technology (ZET). The seminar is open to all ZET staff members and guest speakers to inform themselves about current developments in the field of energy technology and to receive interdisciplinary scientific input for their own research.

This year's lectures ranged from sector coupling and storage technologies to novel high-voltage transmission technologies and took place from 15th May to 17th July 2019.
