Project Promoter: Universitatea din București
Project Code: 21-COP-0021
Partner: Reykjavik University
The UE Green Deal proposes that by 2030, renewable energies should account for 32% of energy production. This target requires specialists with interdisciplinary training in renewable energy sources who can integrate sustainability and zero carbon concepts into new technological solutions and develop new green energy policies. The University of Bucharest, through its master programme “Renewable and Alternative Energy Sources-SERA”, aims to train green energy specialists who can successfully integrate into the challenging and innovative international labour market. The main goal is to create a sustainable master program in renewable energy sources at the University, to train specialists to meet the demands of the labour market.
