Solving the Energy Puzzle: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Energy Transition

Organisation :
University of Groningen

This course takes a multidisciplinary approach, to examine the energy transition question from each of these perspectives.  It starts by introducing global energy and sustainability issues, and possible scenarios in the first week. To facilitate and realise changes in energy systems, technology and innovation plays an important role. This will be discussed in Week 2. In Weeks 3 and 4, it analyses legal and economic considerations at regional and country levels. When country-level decisions are being implemented, spatial planning and social acceptance come into the picture. In Weeks 5 and 6, it discusses how communities and individuals perceive energy transitions and interact with policies.
