The CAPeX Academy

The universities participating in CAPeX educate the next #Power2Xperts: the future scientists, engineers and leaders needed for the green transformation.

CAPeX Academy

The 2025 PhD and Postdoc Cohort: Applications Opening Soon.

Through CAPeX Academy and Fellowship programs, we educate at MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral levels in P2X and digital technologies, aiming to train 100 researchers. This effort supports the green transition and provides skilled professionals to industry and the public sector.

At CAPeX, we value diversity within our applicant pool and encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds to submit their applications. We believe that fostering diversity in the research environment enhances creativity and encourages cross-sectoral collaboration, ultimately contributing to the successful execution of excellent research. Through initiatives like the VILLUM FOUNDATION and Novo Nordisk Foundation's Living Labs initiative, we actively foster diversity and strive to improve gender balance. Currently, we are defining the #WomeninCAPeX network, aimed at supporting female talent and leadership in Power2X.

Postdoc cohort call

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 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.
