Central challenges in the pursuit of sustainable development can only be met by an adequate understanding of the connections between environmental protection and energy supply. The key to a secure energy future and the solution of global environmental threats, such as the greenhouse effect, lies at the core of these challenges. Effective answers can only be elaborated through international cooperation between different academic disciplines, and through joint efforts in theory and practice. Accordingly, the Summer Academy "Energy and the Environment" has adopted an international, interdisciplinary, and integrative approach to relationship of energy, sustainable development, and climate change. It aims to provide highly qualified young researchers and practitioners from different disciplines and geographic backgrounds with an opportunity to establish contact and exchange knowledge, experience and ideas, facilitating the establishment of new networks, and supporting the necessary integration and transfer tasks.
