Content
Communication and behavior are deeply connected; with our behaviour we communicate and communication, in turn, oftentimes leads to behaviour. In this course we will take you on a journey on the social side of the energy transition, with important questions as whether and how can we (innovatively) transform our society to meet future challenges related to climate change and the energy transition?
