Course
Energy and sustainability
Are you looking for a broader understanding and deeper insights into today's energy challenges and the complexities of the energy market and geopolitics? Our Energy and Sustainability course offers an exploration of the energy sector from a variety of perspectives. After an introduction to corporate-level energy policy, including energy auditing and energy monitoring, the complexity of the current energy market is explained (from a Belgian perspective), as well as a deeper understanding of climate change to formulate the overall problem.
Several experts in energy economics and energy policy feed your mind with a broad understanding of the energy chain context to anticipate future trends, energy economics and energy policy. A debate between participants and experts is organized at the end of the course.
