Day zero!
Everything I won't be able to live without for two weeks(c) is picked out now, packed and pushed into the bag by continuous jumping. First time in my life I actually packed in advance. Meaning more than two hours in advance. I liked it. Hallelujah indeed!
The reason why I decided suddenly to keep this blog has to do with the conference in Germany and surprisingly big interest my friends showed about it. It still sounds very suspiciously for me that you found seminars about Sustainable Energy Technologies a cool topic to write about, but what ever. As you wish!
The International Summer University will take place in Wolfenbuettel, small historic place 220 km west of Berlin (means to me somewhere in the North of Germany). The school is called Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences. They have a bit weird web site, but otherwise, it seems like a normal Polytechnic with degree programs in Electrical, Mechanical, and Supply Engineering, IT, Law, and Social Affairs. Interesting.
This year there are 12 schools participating in the seminar, from USA, UK, Norway, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Finland, and yahoo, Russia!
The two weeks include lectures, company visits, cultural program and local activities.
"The regional industry like Volkswagen, a near Hamburg located branch of Airbus, wind farms, power plants and the Braunschweig Research Airport are presented in parallel to the course program."
I'm very much happy about the lectures. Just look at the list!
Lecturers from Wolfenbüttel:
Prof. Klinge: “Wind Energy”, “Hydropower”
Prof. Könemund: “Wind Energy”, “Photovoltaics”
Prof. Bleckwedel: “Fuel Cells”
Prof. Hamann on History and Geography
Guest lecturers:
Prof. Parishwad, COEP, India: “Energy in India”
Prof. Kulatunga, Purdue Univ., USA: “Energy Efficenty
of Electrical Drives”
Dr. Mikael Paronen, Arcada, Finland: “Fuel Cells”
Dr. Michael, Greenenergy: “Geothermics“
Dr. Kümpers, Johnson Controls: “Battery Technology“
Dr. Rademacher, E.ON: “Nuclear Energy”
Everything seems just as it should be. I'm looking forward to this Summer School, and it's a perfect time for a change too.
I also hope that the weather will be nice, because warm clothes somehow didn't fit in the bag :D
Oh, by the way, feel free to leave comments if you want. I guess you don't even need to register and can also write as "Anonym" :) Have fun and great summer to you all!!
Evening, Helsinki.
