Travel bursaries for Early Career Academics
Travel to Edinburgh for CPE 2026
N-ZEEE are delighted to offer travel bursaries to support attendance at CPE 2026 from 6-8 July 2026, in Edinburgh. Read on…
ECAs must be within the first three years of their academic career, and have not yet been awarded a major grant as PI, and work primarily in Power-Electronics and/or Electrical Machines for Renewables
The bursary will include a ticket to CPE if one has not already been purchased. We are open to approaches from ECAs attending with a PhD student. Full bursaries for those without access to funds are available, and partial bursaries are also available to boost the impact of existing travel funds. Visit this page to apply for a travel bursary.
In addition to conference attendance, we are also running a tutorial: Power Electronic & Electrical Machine Design for High-Power & Renewable Applications
The Centre for Power Electronics and the EPSRC Net-Zero Enabling Electrical Engineering (N-ZEEE) Network+, are organising a full-day Tutorial on Power Electronics & Electrical Machine Design for High-Power & Renewable Applications on the day before the CPE 2026 Conference on 7-8 July 2026.
This free full day tutorial will cover both introductory and advanced topics in the design of power electronics. The focus will be on Megawatt scale power-electronics and electrical generator for renewable applications such as solar, wind, tidal and wave. Topics in power-electronics will include advanced converter and busbar design using wide bandgap power devices, dV/dt management and gate-driving. Topics in electrical machines will also include design of low-speed high-torque generator systems, considerations for reductions in rare earth magnet usage and introduction to superconducting electrical machine design.
Travel bursaries of up to £700 are available for Early Career Academics. Register for the workshop and apply for a travel bursary.
