SuperAIRE is pleased to invite expressions of interest for membership in its inaugural Working Groups, which will guide and shape the strategic direction of our activities across AI and Renewable Energy.
About SuperAIRE
SuperAIRE (Supergen Network+ in Artificial Intelligence for Renewable Energy) is a new consortium within the EPSRC Supergen programme that was set up in 2001 to deliver sustained and coordinated research on SUstainable PowER GENeration and supply, focusing on key research areas. It commits to incubating a world-leading research community at the intersection of AI and renewable energy and to support the UK’s global leadership in the intelligent transformation of the renewable energy sector. SuperAIRE fosters collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers to drive innovation across generation, storage, transmission, distribution, and demand-side management.
Through our six Research Themes: Robust and Trustworthy AI, Prediction and Forecasting, AI-Powered Digital Twins, Intelligent Control, Smart Integration, and Robotics & Autonomous Systems, we address fragmented research landscapes and accelerate AI deployment in real-world renewable energy systems.
Working Groups Open for Membership
We are seeking enthusiastic and committed individuals from across academia, industry, and policy to join the following SuperAIRE Working Groups, contributing to shaping a future Supergen Hub proposal, together with SuperAIRE’s investigators (Prof. Xiaowei Zhao from the University of Warwick, Prof. Sara Walker from the University of Birmingham, Prof. Yulong Ding from the University of Birmingham, and Prof. Philip Torr from the University of Oxford). Members will serve for an initial 18-month term, and are expected to attend a one-hour online meeting every two – three months.
1. Research Mapping Working Group (RM-WG)
This group will steer the development of the SuperAIRE research landscape, helping identify gaps, shape workshop agendas, connect stakeholders, and develop the SuperAIRE whitepaper.
2. Dissemination and Impact Working Group (D&I-WG)
This group will guide SuperAIRE’s communication, outreach, and dissemination strategies, ensuring research outcomes are shared widely and deliver sector-wide impact.
3. Early Career Researcher Working Group (ECR-WG)
Focused on supporting early career researchers, this group will help establish an ECR forum, design mentoring schemes, and advise on ECR grant strategies and engagement activities.
4. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Working Group (EDI-WG)
The EDI-WG will support and evaluate all SuperAIRE activities to ensure alignment with our inclusion principles and actively promote underrepresented voices in both AI and renewable energy sectors.
