3 Parallel Sessins: Universities respnding t the energy challenge (I: Knwledge sharing) In these sessins, attendees will deliver shrt statements n their experiences, challenges and slutins when delivering excellent research utputs and educatinal prgrammes. The sessins prvide pprtunities t share insights and highlight frm institutin and liaise with institutins with similar interests. See the Call fr Expressins f Interest t submit a tpic t share with the audience. Wrking sessin a) Adapting curricula and teaching methdlgies t the cntinually evlving and expanding Eurpean energy sectr This parallel sessin will fcus n knwledge sharing, best practices and netwrking in the field f energy educatin prgrammes, e.g. fr prject develpment in Erasmus+. This includes questins such as Hw t develp multi-disciplinary Master and Dctrate energy prgrammes? Hw t integrate state-f-the-art energy research int educatinal prgrammes? Hw t adapt teaching methdlgies t train the future energy prfessinals (e.g. e-learning, MOOCs)? Prf. Mihaela Albu, University Plitehnica f Bucharest, Rmania Prf. Sigurdur Magnus Gardarssn, University f Iceland, Iceland Rapprteur: Mar Martinez Diaz, KU Leuven; KIC InnEnergy, Belgium Wrking sessin b) Fstering crss-disciplinary research t tackle the wide spectrum f issues in realising the transitin t a lw-carbn energy sciety This parallel sessin will fcus n knwledge sharing, best practices and netwrking in the field f energy research activities, e.g. fr prject develpment in Hrizn 2020 r the SET-Plan. This cvers questins such as: Hw t integrate technlgical, scial and ecnmic aspects in energy research? Hw t link ecnmics and scial sciences t tackle energy-related scial prblems (e.g. human behaviural/attitudinal change factrs cncerning energy use and efficiency, viable ecnmic and fiscal instruments fr a lwcarbn ecnmy)? Hw t develp crss-technlgy research t ptimise the Eurpean energy system? Prf. Gabriel Sala, Technical University f Madrid, Spain Dr Jhn Smith, EUA Page3
