Don Frana Bulića 4. HR-20000 Dubrovnik
Croatia
Programme
Date of Event: 4 September – 15 September 2022
Brief Description:
The main topic of the summer school is energy and climate planning and modelling of smart systems and exchange of experiences with experts in the field. A special focus will be on the improved integrated assessment models (IAMs), with improved data management, policy and scenario assessment, as well as systematic dynamic modelling of relevant environmental, economic, social, technological and biophysical variables. Finding a new and improved representation of smart energy systems in IAMs is a key issue in calculating policy scenarios and their emissions.
