| 1 | Energy Case Study | EBB136A05 |
| This course starts with a workshop in which we introduce a number of energy challenges. The students are asked to formulate a research question departing from a specific discipline (natural science, law, economics, psychology, spatial or political sciences). The research will be oriented on solving a policy problem in the field of energy transition; hence, the students will be asked to explore policy strategies for energy transition. The report will be written individually. The students will have a number of meetings with a supervisor from a specific discipline. At the end of the course, the students will present his finding to their peers in a workshop. |

| 2 | Energy Research Project | EBB138A10 |
| In this course, the students will conduct a multidisciplinary research directed at a specific energy challenge. This course will kick off with a workshop with external parties from the energy sector in which we will discuss what types of research projects can be defined regarding energy challenges. We will also discuss how to organize multidisciplinary research projects, how to deal with group dynamics, what kind of research methods can be used, where data can be found and how the final report should be structured. This research will be conducted in groups of about 4 students from different academic disciplines. Each group has 2 supervisors from different disciplines. At the end of the course, the students will present their findings in a workshop to their peers, lecturers of the course and external parties |

| 3 | Multidisciplinary Energy Essentials | EBB135A10 |
| In the first week of the course we will discuss the key characteristics of the energy systems and which challenges the societies face to make their energy system more sustainable, secure and/or affordable. We will show that a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to address the energy challenges. In the weeks 2 to 7 we will discuss energy systems from the perspectives of various academic perspectives: natural sciences, law, economics, social and behavioural sciences, spatial sciences and political sciences. In order to facilitate the multidisciplinary approach, multidisciplinary groups of students will work on group assignments. In addition, every week we will discuss real-world examples on energy transition from various countries/regions. |

| 4 | Solving Energy Challenges | EBB137A05 |
| In this course the student will learn how to analyze energy challenges by using insights from various academic disciplines (natural science, law, economics, psychology, spatial and political sciences). In three weeks of time we will discuss the physical characteristics of energy resources, the regulatory and legal framework, the economics of electricity markets, the policies to foster a sustainable energy behaviour, the social dynamics in a spatial context and the political structures, actors and processes. The insights learned from this course will be useful to conduct the research in the course Energy Research Project. |
