Description
GEM (Green Energy Management) Summer School offers a broad experience in the context of circular economy with a particular focus on new energy technologies and environmental issues. The main aim of GEM is to provide international students with a context sensitive first-class training in the field of Green Energy Management and renewable resources.

GEM - Sustainable Energy Transition is composed of 5 learning modules:

Sustainability of Energy Transition - World and Europe Energy scenario
Economical and Financial issues
Technical applications
Theory, Culture and Politics
New experiences - From GEM Alumni and young graduates
GEM meets Companies and institutions (20 min each)
In the past ten editions of GEM, students from all over the world (East and West Europe, Africa, Asia, South America) have shared classrooms and field experience, making connections and proposing new projects. GEM is now managed by the GEM Network, a pool of scientists and professionals, who started since 2013 with a wide project on Green Energy in the educational and research sector. All our teachers have a wide experience in energy management, both conventional and renewable, and are perfectly aware of their mission in communicating knowledge and skills.

Our vision is ambitious. We are just a drop, but as the drop may dig the rock, little by little we may help changing our world in a sustainable and liveable one.
