ZERO Institute - University of Oxford: Shaping the Zero-Carbon Transition
What does your organisation do?
The ZERO Institute (Zero-carbon Energy Research Oxford) brings together researchers from across the University of Oxford to tackle questions surrounding zero-carbon energy systems, and to accelerate multi-disciplinary research on the zero-carbon transition.
We run the ZERO Founders Network, an entrepreneurial hub whose mission is to empower the brightest minds in the fight against climate change, connecting entrepreneurs, academics, students and funders to catalyse the development and deployment of zero-carbon energy solutions.
Why did you choose to build in Oxfordshire?
We are directly affiliated with Oxford University.
What big problem are you trying to solve?
We shape the transition to a just and fair global zero-carbon energy system, through research that unifies technology, policy, and people.
How can you support the Oxfordshire ecosystem?
The Founders Network is initially growing within Oxford University but welcomes everyone with an interest in climate tech. Our Dynamo Team is the brilliant community of individual specialists who support the Founders Network through opportunities including, but not limited to mentorship, speaking at events, expert advice and funding.
The Founders Network runs workshops, training and networking for founders as well as those interested in the process of translating research into a business including our flagship Oxford Climate Ventures programme in collaboration with the Oxford Said Entrepreneurship Centre.
