About:
The current environmental crises demand new approaches to the energy transition, considering challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential as the energy transition involves technical, environmental, and social components. The summer school on Ameland Island focuses on community engagement, public participation, and citizen empowerment in addressing energy transition solutions. Participants engage in field trips, lectures, and group work to develop integrative and sustainable approaches tailored to challenges posed by the Ameland Energy Cooperative, presenting their solutions at the end of the program. *For more information click on ‘Yes, I want to join!’.
