Seminar on Aspects of the Energy Transition, Winter Semester

In this course, participants meet every two weeks (Tuesday 14:45-20:15) for a roughly 4,5 hour (incl. break) round-table session.  Every session focuses primarily on a given technical or nontechnical topic  regarding the energy revolution (see below).  For each session, 6 or 7 suitable sources (for example studies, papers, journal articles, etc.) are introduced by the participants in short presentations and then discussed by the group.  At the end of each session, a list of sources for the next meeting will be handed out and assigned to the students to prepare for the next session.
