Prerequisites (description)

This seminar aims at identyfing and analysing main trends on the global energy market. Special attention would be paid on the geopolitical, technological and socio-economical determinants that influence development of energy markets (oil, gas, coal, nuclear, RES etc.) as well as policies of main energy consumers (USA, China, EU, Japan, India etc.).
