Presentation at cpde2025.bjut.edu.cn (Beijing) this week by #ModConFlex researcher Kaja Krhač.

There is a special session on Modelling and Control of Flexible Structures with several other of our #MSCA PhD students.
Hybrid Schrödinger-Liouville and projective dynamics
Quantum dynamics provides the arguably most fundamental example of hybrid dynamics: As long as no measurement takes place, the system state is governed by the Schrödinger-Liouville differential equati...

Great to read that the share of #renewables is growing in the #EU #electricity mix.
Several of ModConFlex' researchers are working on various aspects of #floating #windfarms.
The share of renewables in the EU electricity mix grew from 45% in 2023 to 48% last year, on slighly higher demand:
18% wind, 16% hydro, 9% solar, 5% bio

Nuclear's share grew from 23% to 24%, leaving only 28% for fossil fuels:
15% natural gas, 10% coal, 3% other
