Beschreibung des Angebots

Switzerland is planning an ambitious energy transition with far-reaching consequences on the national, cantonal, and on the municipal level. As a result, leaders in the energy sector from public administration, politics, and industry are faced with significant challenges of realizing political goals, redesigning the infrastructure, adapting business models to disruptive innovations, and strategically repositioning vis-à-vis new market entrants.

The training is tailor-made for interested executives in order to develop a thorough understanding of governing the social, technical, business/economic, and regulatory dimensions of the energy transition, as well as the competencies required to apply this knowledge at the local level. The overall aim of the program is to facilitate a dialogue between a group of passionate industry experts, government officials and academics and to actively foster a GET-community.

GET is an action learning program to develop a common understanding of the challenges and opportunities arising from the Swiss energy transition. Such an approach welcomes the confrontation of controversial opinions through critical discussion. As such, GET is also a continuous learning exercise that extends beyond the classroom.
