Impact of energy communities on energy markets

Energy communities have a fundamental role in the transition of energy systems and contribute to their flexibility.

Full-time annual contract to carry out research projects complemented by training activities. This modality allows the pre-doctoral researcher to establish a very close professional relationship with the electricity sector, thus nourishing his research with the experience accumulated during the project.
