\"\"On March 7 J\u00fcrgen drove (in a UW hybrid car, of course) to Bellingham to give a public lecture at the Institute for Energy Studies<\/a> (IES) at the Western Washington University (WWU). \u00a0It was the second time he visited the Bellingham campus. \u00a0This time he was invited by the IES to talk at their Speaker Series<\/a> about climate action and clean energy in the European Union. There was a lot of interest in European initiatives to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency among the audience which was a mix of undergraduate students, faculty and other interested people.<\/p>\n

J\u00fcrgen was hosted by the Director of IES, Joel Swisher<\/a> (who knew each other from J\u00fcrgen\u2019s previous career as energy researcher), and Assistant Professor Imran Sheikh<\/a>.\u00a0 They had kindly organized a number of meetings with faculty and researchers where he learned more about the Institute\u2019s teaching and research activities. One thing that makes the IES stand out is its recently launched interdisciplinary energy program<\/a> for undergraduate students. It was conceived to prepare young professionals for the changing American energy market where renewable energy and sources and energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n

We are coming up on the end of J\u00fcrgen\u2019s time here at the Center for European Studies! He\u2019ll be traveling to Olympia to speak to a State Senate Committee, and to the University of British Columbia before he prepares to head back to Brussels to continue his work as a policy officer at the EU Commission.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
