RUSS 24 Baltic Energy Systems

The Baltic States -- Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania -- are a cultural and commercial crossroads.  They are also a living laboratory for navigating the complex pressures of transitioning to low-carbon, socially innovative energy systems.  This course will explore social and technological dimensions of energy transitions in the Baltics via two four-week modules, one based at Vilnius University in Lithuania and the other based at the University of Tartu in Estonia.  The course will examine how the histories and futures of Baltic energy systems are shaped by their ties to Europe and their proximity to Russia, as well as how the Baltic states are transforming energy infrastructures and policies in response to urgent energy security and climate change challenges. 

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
