The NETs@Helmholtz Research School trains young scientists in the field of negative emission technologies. A strong focus is on Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS) technology for capturing CO₂ from the ambient air. The comprehensive approach fosters transdisciplinary thinking and networking and a critical but open-minded attitude while providing the tools for good scientific practice and a fulfilling career. A strong focus is on technology and knowledge transfer, thus providing the next generation of researchers with the necessary skills to make a visible impact to the ramp-up of negative emission technologies.
