The purpose of the foundation is to offer exceptional scientists the opportunity to develop the Department of Engineering into a world-leading research center in which global challenges are addressed. This includes sustainable energy solutions that build cities of the future, counter risks and promote innovation. The choice of the first professor fell on David MacKay, as he had already earned a reputation in the field of sustainable energy management.
