The CAPeX Academy

At the CAPeX Pioneer Center, we are shaping the next generation of #Power2Xperts — the future scientists, engineers, and leaders driving the green transformation.

Through the CAPeX Academy and Fellowship programs, we offer education at MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral levels, focusing on Power2X and digital technologies. Our goal is to train 100 researchers, equipping them with the skills needed to support the green transition and strengthen both industry and the public sector.

A Collaborative Research Hub Where Innovation Thrives

At the CAPeX Academy, research is more than just theory — it’s a vibrant, hands-on process where ideas are tested, developed, and brought to life through collaboration. We work across disciplines and on equal footing, breaking down hierarchies in favour of open dialogue and curiosity. Here, students, researchers, and professionals meet as peers, creating a space where everyone is welcome, no matter their background or perspective.

Our research environment is a place where big ideas thrive, and bold experiments take shape. It’s not just a study environment — it’s a dynamic community of practice where diversity is a strength, and collaboration drives innovation forward.

Postdoc

Each will be employed at one of the Danish partner universities and have a supervisor team consisting of experts from at least two of the university partners.

Postdocs at CAPeX have extraordinary access to computing resources, trans-disciplinary international researchers across many disciplines within catalysis, materials and computer sciences, robotics, and other academic areas, as well as courses and events at the center, and meaningful collaboration with industry, the public sector, and the start-up ecosystem. 

Several of the positions are associated with our Fellowship programs with the SUNCAT center at Stanford University, The European solar fuels consortium SUNERGY at Utrecht University, or the Acceleration Consortium (AC) at University of Toronto. Fellowship postdocs are expected to spend 6-12 months at the international partner university.
