On May 15th, between 17:00 and 20:00, the NOVA Green Lab is delighted to host its 2nd Workshop on Energy, Climate, and Just Transition. This event offers a platform for master students following the course anonymous to the workshop to present their innovative ideas and solutions in energy and climate law and its relation to the normative theories of just transition. Each speaker will have to make a pitch of her or his essay in 7 minutes, followed by the same time for feedback from our two discussants – Professor Lucila de Almeida and our guest discussant, Dr. Shamilka Samarasinha, and other participants.
The advantages of this project are manifold: attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge research, contribute to interdisciplinary dialogue, and foster collaboration within the academic community. Importantly, no prior enrollment is required, as this event is open to all members of the academic community. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with thought-provoking projects and be part of the conversation shaping our sustainable future.
