Summer School: Towards a Resilient Future of Energy and Digital Technologies 0000-SzL-EiTC-OG

The interdisciplinary intensive summer school is based on a broad program and a variety of educational formats. The course consists of three types of activities: lectures to expand knowledge, workshops focused on skill development, and individual work. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss topics with leading experts in their fields, present their research, and exchange experiences.
The course curriculum primarily covers topics related to energy, the energy transition (with a particular emphasis on the just transition) and the digital revolution as well as their consequences. The summer school is interdisciplinary, as in addition to reflection on law and public policy, the school aims to develop specialized knowledge that will allow for a comprehensive understanding of the issues discussed and improve participants’ scientific skills.
