Minor Energy Transition from Multidisciplinary Perspectives

Societies are increasingly concerned about the sustainability, security and affordability of energy. In order to deal with these challenges, and to find solutions which contribute to the wellbeing of societies, knowledge is required from several academic disciplines, including natural Science, psychology, law, economics and spatial sciences.

This minor blends lectures on theories and methods from multiple disciplines with research projects aimed at solving real-world energy problems. 

During this minor, you will dive into a wide range of energy challenges, exploring the key differences and complementary elements of various academic perspectives and methodologies. You will examine the physical characteristics of energy resources, the regulatory and legal frameworks, the economics of energy markets and policies, strategies to encourage sustainable energy behavior in both citizens and businesses, and spatial planning.The focus will be on the energy transition to renewable sources like wind and solar power, hydrogen, and green gas.
