Course overview and goals
Students will stay for about one week at partner universities and research institutes related to energy and informatics, present their research, discuss their areas of expertise, and plan and propose a feasible fusional research project in the future.
They will also present their research, including proposals for research projects they have planned, at international conferences attended by faculty members and researchers from partner universities and companies. Through these activities, students will acquire skills to utilize the three scopes of energy, social science, and big data science, as well as develop an international perspective and international collaboration skills through exchanges with researchers and students from other institutions.
