  2. An original concept • Targeted at Users of TA … • In non-PTA countries • What is TA ? • Who are they ? • ≠ target groups • Policy-makers • Science & Technology Community • Civil Society • Media  Not a typical Research Summer School

  3. Raising awareness & capacity building • Who is sitting next to you? ≠ countries, ≠ professions, ≠ expertise, ≠ interests • Renewable Energy Systems • Technologies: biofuel, carbon capture, e-mobililty, storage, mining, wave energy, … • Actors: industry, research, NGO, policy actors, … • Approaches: public policy, modelling, LCA, ethics, urban planning, economics, communication, monitoring, policy-advise, participation, … • Establish a common ground Politics Society S&T

  4. Overall learning process • Lectures in plenary • Connected to workshops (on RES) • Slip in two groups • Global Citizens on Renewables • Renewables for Cities • Presentations

  5. Mutual learning: Plenary • lectures from senior professionals in the field of TA • Tuesday: • Johan Evers (IST): Technology Assessment of Renewable Energy Systems : an Introduction • Antonio Moniz (KIT/ITAS): Problem Definition and TA Research Design • Wednesday • Danielle Bütschi (TA-Swiss): The Methods Toolbox for Technology Assessment : from Science to Dialogue • Jurgen Ganzevles (Rathenau Institute): Communication Work and the strive for Impact – Lessons from the Energy in 2030 Project • Thursday • Paidi O’Reilly (UCC): Concluding Remarks from a Non-TA Country: Insight and future directions • Q&A + lecturers circulate in groups

  6. Mutual learning: connected Workshops • TA is about interdisciplinarity • Set up and simulate a TA project plan throughout different phases • Problem definition and TA research design, methods, communication & impact. • Split up the group (equal & according to expressed interests) • Two different TA projects (diversity of practices) • Johan Evers (facilitator: Global Citizens on Renewable Energies) • JurgenGanzevles (facilitator: Renewables for Cities) • Working instructions • Simulate to role of a TA board or steering committee (composition) • Merge expertise and resources of participants (interdisciplinarity) • Envelopes from the bingo game (roles)

  7. Workshops – Each Group • 3 Sessions according to some main phases of TA (problem definition, methods, communication & impact) • 1h25 • 5 minutes reporting to plenary • Possibility of spitting up the group in sub-entities • 3 Assigned roles ( project-manager & 2 assistants, communication manager) • 1 Finalisation (template) • 1 Presentation (sell your project)

  8. Lessons learned • Presentations (see what the other group did : diversity) • Concluding lecture (wrap up the learning's and future outlooks) • Evaluation • Keep in touch • Other PACITA activities • European TA conference (Prague, March 13-15, 2013) • Cross-EU projects • Summer School 2 • VolTA

  9. Good work!
