Module Description
In this course, participants meet every two weeks for a roughly 4,5 hour 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.
