The energy research exhibition, displayed at the KTH Campus Library in February and March 2023 was based on the KTH Energy Platform's popular science anthology from 2022, written by some of Sweden's leading energy researchers in collaboration with Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Public & Science). 

With the exhibition, the platform aimed to raise awareness of the important energy issue and the knowledge gathered in the anthology. The project was initiated by researcher Christophe Duwig and led by KTH Librarian Lenita Brodin Berggren, who built the exhibition together with her colleagues Tove Ohlström and Mikko Bromark. 

Energy Crisis! Electricity Price drama! The threat of global energy poverty! Media are generous with spectacular titles. Yes, energy is important, and yes, nearly all societal challenges are connected to how we convert, distribute and use energy. Therefore, the KTH Energy Platform and KTH Library presented an exhibition with the theme Towards the energy of the future – the invisible revolution behind the electrical socket.

The exhibition displayed showcase illustrations from the book made by Lotta Waesterberg Tomasson, as well as books related to energy and electricity from the KTH Library's collections. In parallell with the exhibition, a series of live popular science lunch seminars with presentations of selected chapters of the book took place. As part of the exhibition, students from KTH's Electrical Engineering program also showcased exciting projects that connect to the anthology’s contents, made with materials and equipment from the student-driven ELAB and “Studentverkstan”. Visitors were also invited to share their reflections and ideas on energy.
