Online learning – New massive open online course on renewable energy innovation
Climate-KIC launches its free new-generation action-based course on renewable energy innovation – the REI MOOC.
First of its kind
The REI MOOC aims to help foster the transformation of renewable energy possibilities into innovative action. It is the first of its kind and has been developed in collaboration with Climate-KIC’s partnering knowledge and innovation community InnoEnergy.
The course aims to foster actions for the use clean, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and tidal power in order to encourage more people in society to take climate action and help tackle the climate change challenge.
Who can join
This free online learning resource is open for anyone with an interest in renewable energy and fighting climate change: educators, upcoming entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, researchers, school or university students, opinion makers, or general members of the public who are interested.
The REI MOOC Challenge
At the heart of the MOOC is a challenge for the participants: “Can you help overcome the barriers to the success of renewable energy?” A series of challenge tasks spans the MOOC, leading towards the creation of action plans for renewable energy innovation either individually or collectively (with other REI MOOC learners).
To help learners rise to this challenge, the course contains a set of dynamic learning resources and activities linked to a vibrant global learning community, focused on climate change and climate science, innovation and entrepreneurship and, of course, renewable energy.
