7th Biennial International Workshop
Advances in Energy Studies 2010
Breaking the addiction to fossil energy
Barcelona, 19-21 October 2010
Activities of the group
This is the seventh in an ongoing series of biennial meetings dedicated to advances, innovation and visions in energy and energy-related environmental and socio-economic issues. Addiction to fossil energy is one of the most obvious and least discussed sources of environmental destruction in present times. With this conference the Advances in Energy Studies community puts the issue centre stage and challenges participants to come up with clear descriptions and practical solutions for the problem.
liphe4 Summer Schools
The main goal of the school is to integrate methodologies that analyse and characterise systems and their evolution, with those methodologies that help to structure the decision process in a social context.
The organization of a summer school has the aim to generate a reference point for young researchers and students in Europe who want to know the state of the art in the field of sustainable development studies. In particular, the school wants to present a complete picture, in theory and practice, of recently developed analytic approaches toward sustainable development. For this purpose, both lectures and hands-on case-studies will form an integral part of the summer school.
