Workshop Description

The California - Denmark Summer Workshop takes place annually in California and Denmark alternately, with the 2011 edition being organized in California at the University of California Santa Cruz and Davis. 

The Summer Workshop is four weeks long with the first week being an online preperation. August 1-10, 2011 the workshop was hosted at the UC Santa Cruz campus and August 10-19, 2011 the workshop was hosted at the UC Davis Campus. The 3-week program in California consists of lectures, seminars and field trips to relevant energy sites and facilities all around Northern California. These visits intend to provide students with real-world experiences of the technological and social aspects of RE implementation at a local level. The faculty consists of Californian and Danish professors, as well as, external professionals and researchers with proven experience in their own field. 

In addition to lectures and visits, participants will develop a problem-oriented research project, which represents a fundamental part of the overall learning experience. Upon conclusion of the workshop, a final written report and presentation is completed by student teams, including analyses of the identified problem, possible solutions, and suggested recommendations
