CFAN 3520 Leading the Renewables Revolution: Germany
Germany’s growing renewable energy system emerged through collaboration across political, business and nonprofit sectors and in dialogue with science. Meet leaders from Germany and Minnesota who are involved in solving the social, technical, and political challenges of transforming industrial economies. In this study abroad course, you will have the opportunity to get an in-depth look at the political, social and technological drivers behind renewable energy development. Visit Munster, Dusseldorf and Saerback, award-winning cities that excel in advancing renewable energy storage, combined heat and power, solar and wind power, and the electrification of transportation. Students present to German officials their own research of Minnesota renewable energy efforts and report back to Minnesota officials and community members upon your return.
