The Programme

Leadership and Innovation for Accelerated Energy Transition is a two day workshop open to policy makers, innovators, researchers and citizens.

During the first day of the workshop the participants will experience through a gaming* approach what it takes to transition from fossil fuel energy to renewable energy sources and technologies. The game recreates the most important features related to energy transition in the real world. The game environment is open which allows the participants to try out various strategies and their effects in a complex, multi-actor system.

The second day is dedicated to exploring various ideas applicable to energy transition. The participants will be given a space to form partnerships that will jointly put ideas into actions.

* The basis for the experiential learning is the Energy Transition Game developed in Centre for Systems Solutions. The game recreates the most important features related to energy transition in the real world.
