Courses
Introduction to the Energy Transition is a course that covers an increasingly important issue with respect to climate change, ecology, energy policies, supply disruption, and competition for energy.
What made our planet habitable? This course uses physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, to narrate Earth's story, from the synthesis of chemical elements in the stars to today’s global environmental challenges and human activities in space.
Join us for a celebration of human progress in understanding “The Enigmatic Universe”, using the latest advances in astronomy and planetary science. All are welcome at this weekend event, directed by leading researchers and experienced lecturers.
