NEON Research

Lighting the way to zero emission energy and mobility

Accelerating the future of energy and mobility

NEON is a multidisciplinary research program addressing three interrelated societal challenges: climate action, renewable energy, and smart & sustainable transport. We believe integral research combining societal, economic and technological expertise is the key to understanding and solving todays big challenges. Our research focuses on making impact. Therefore we closely collaborate with over twenty industry partners, multiple governmental institutions and other societal partners. Next to that we are connected to some of the biggest experts in the international research community.
The 34 PhD positions combined in the NEON program are subdivided in the domains: Sustainable energy, Smart & safe mobility, Societal integration and Integral models. Covering everything from chemistry and electrical engineering to law and psychology. All working together with the same drive towards our mutual goal of
accelerating the energy and mobility transition through integral, multidisciplinary research.

Multidisciplinary research

The NEON methodology is innovative in that it focuses on difficult technological problems while simultaneously evaluating and testing all technological and social options in a system setting through social research, living labs and an integral computer model. This requires integrating and interfacing technological knowledge with knowledge from the social sciences and humanities. Are you interested?
