The Global Energy Transition in a Fossil World | Summer / Short course | Engineering & Technology | Online/Distance | 10 days | Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam | Netherlands
This course will give you a broad overview of global energy transition needs, the key societal dilemmas and possible solutions. It will challenge you to discover your own preferred solutions - as well as their main pros and cons. The course will introduce you to the leading theories, concepts, proposed solutions and current governance efforts in the energy transition. As the Netherlands is the first country to make a conscious decision to leave part of its remaining gas reserves under the ground, national and local solutions will be studied in addition to global solutions. Students will learn more about these solutions through virtual excursions and discussions with experts.
