Join the German-Japanese Lecture Series on Energy Issues!

Are you a student with a passion for energy, sustainability, and international collaboration? Our new lecture series offers the perfect opportunity to dive deeper into these topics and engage in exciting discussions!

Starting in October 2024, "Energy Transition in Dialogue: German-Japanese Perspectives" will kick off – a lecture series organized in partnership with the German-Japanese Energy Partnership Team and the DWIH Tokyo. The aim is to connect students from both countries, raising awareness and excitement around the key challenges and solutions of the global energy transition.
In each 90-minute session, German and Japanese experts will present their perspectives on a current energy-related topic. Beyond technological know-how, the sociocultural context of the energy transition will also be explored. As a special highlight, industry representatives will provide practical insights into their daily work and share career opportunities in the energy sector.

We kindly ask you to please register separately for each session. The registration links and a detailed schedule of topics can be found below.
