Sinergia is the Group on Sustainable Innovation and Renewable Energies from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Our team is composed by faculty and researchers from the Graduate Program in Industrial Engineering and other Institutions from Brazil and overseas.
It is oriented at studying the major global transitions that shape our time, which is: the energy transition towards renewables and the sustainability transitions towards clean technologies. Its research aims at understanding how such transitions can speed up; analyzing the current techno-economic paradigms shaping energy and sustainability transitions, and proposing new and/or better solutions and policies towards its goal.
