International Summer University on Energy 2011
Renewable Energies III: Photovoltaics, Solar Thermal & Geothermal
21st August to 2nd September 2011 in Falera, Switzerland
The International Summer University on Energy (ISUenergy 2011) invites you to participate in two unforgettable weeks to learn, experience and enjoy a series of seminars on renewable energy in the Swiss Alps. The school integrates different academic fields such as Physics, Material Science, Material Engineering, Architecture, Sociology, Political Science and Economics and it follows the successful ISUenergy 2009 and ISUenergy 2010.
The ISUenergy 2011 will provide students with a solid foundation in photovoltaics, solar thermal technologies, geothermal energy and energy storage. Well-known researchers and scientists from leading universities and institutes will give lectures covering a wide range of topics on the principles of solar energy conversion. Theoretical knowledge will be complemented with practical workshops (table experiments) in the first week and creative group projects (e. g. building a solar oven or installation of a LED lightening system) in the second week with special on hands-on experience.
The school primarily addresses students at Master level or to Diploma students (also young PhD students are welcomed) who prove to have an outstanding performance. As the ISUenergy 2011 is interdisciplinary, participants from different academic fields are encouraged to enrol.
