EASE Student Award 2018
The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) is proud to announce the launch of its third annual Student Award, recognising outstanding graduate student research in the field of energy storage.
Prize
The winning student will be a guest at the EASE-organised Energy Storage Global Conference, which will take place in Brussels on 24-26 October 2018. He or she will be recognised during the opening day of the conference and will be invited to attend all conference events free of charge.
Selection Procedure
The selection of the winning student will be done by the EASE Secretariat and a selected committee of members. The selection procedure is based on the abstracts provided by students in the application form. Students will be judged on the quality of the responses, the research design, and on the relevance of the research topic to the Energy Storage industry. The winner will be informed by mid-September 2018.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must either currently be enrolled as a student or have completed an MSc or PhD programme at an accredited EU university between July 2017 and June 2018. The thesis which is the basis for the application must focus on an energy storage-related topic. Eligible papers are BSc or MSc theses submitted during the above mentioned period. EASE will be able to evaluate abstracts written in English, but the thesis papers could also be in German or French. For papers written in other languages, applicants are asked to contact the EASE Secretariat prior to submitting their application to verify whether the Secretariat has the requisite language skills.
Applicants must be available to attend Energy Storage Global Conference on 24-26 October 2018. Applicants from outside the EU should already be in possession of a valid visa allowing them to travel to Belgium in October 2018. EASE will only cover basic travel and accommodation costs for the event from locations within the EU or candidate countries. By submitting their application, candidates agree to allow their personal data, including the completed thesis, to be shared with EASE members.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms Brittney Elzarei, EASE Senior Policy Officer.
The ninth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES) by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) and LCP Delta, is now available, highlighting Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024. The report also projects continued strong growth through 2030, driven by technological advancements, policy support, and other key factors.
EASE reply to ENTSO-E’s Public Consultation on the 10-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) calls for a more balanced consideration of energy storage technologies and a clearer breakdown of the economic impacts and costs of proposed scenarios.
EASE reply to the European Commission’s Public Consultation and Call for Evidence Feedback on proposal for a Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) Implementing Act aiming at further specifying non-price criteria for renewable energy auctions.
In 2024, several new regulatory initiatives were introduced, marking a period of significant growth driven by key policy advancements and the collective efforts of EASE, its members, policymakers, and stakeholders.
