EASE Student Award 2019
We are proud to announce the launch of the fourth 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 Annual Event and an EASE-organised workshop, which will take place in Brussels on 20 and 21 November 2019. He or she will be recognised during the Annual Event and will be invited to present their research to the EASE members. In addition, EASE will cover transportation to and from Brussels as well as accommodation for the winning student for 2 nights in Brussels. This is a valuable opportunity to network with industry leaders in the energy storage sector and to learn more about energy storage technologies, business cases, and policy developments.
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 early October 2019.
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 2018 and July 2019. 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 travel to Brussels to attend the EASE events on 20-21 November 2019. Applicants from outside the EU should already be in possession of a valid visa allowing them to travel to Belgium in November 2019. 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.

EASE has submitted a technical contribution to the European Chemicals Agency’s Public Consultation on the Annex XV Restriction Report for PFAS. In January 2023, a group of EU member states collectively submitted a proposal for restrictions to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
EASE has prepared a reply to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the EU Climate Targets for 2040 that aims to gather inputs on the EU’s intermediary climate targets for 2040 by 24 June 2023. The Call for Evidence Feedback will inform a detailed impact assessment in view of drafting a law proposal.
EASE has prepared a position paper on the proposal of the Energy Market Design revision, by outlining the key position of EASE on how to enhance the proposal and make non-fossil flexibility a central component of the new decarbonised energy system. On March 14, 2023, the European Commission released a proposed reform of the Electricity Market Design, which has the potential to significantly impact the energy storage sector.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the seventh edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is based on the most extensive database of European energy storage projects. The database of over 2,600 projects includes detailed data on current installations by customer segment (residential, C&I and front-of-meter) across 24 European countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
