Energy poverty is a phenomenon that is receiving increasing attention at European level, but some vulnerable groups, such as students, may still be overlooked, especially in the light of recent energy crises. This thesis focuses on energy poverty and vulnerability to energy poverty from the perspective of students in two selected university cities, Brno and Bergen. Using an analytical framework of energy culture, this thesis aims to clarify the challenges facing students exposed to energy poverty, assess their agency and propose workable solutions.
