Recent­ly, elec­tric­i­ty prices for fos­sil fuels have been ris­ing, and there could be sup­ply bot­tle­necks in the sup­ply of nat­ur­al gas to West­ern Europe. Ener­gy pol­i­cy must change course, and not only in Ger­many. The sci­en­tists Pro­fes­sor Dr. Mario Glowik from the Berlin School of Eco­nom­ics and Law (HWR Berlin), Assis­tant Pro­fes­sor Dr. Agniesz­ka Chwialkows­ka from the Uni­ver­si­ty of West Geor­gia, USA and Assis­tant Pro­fes­sor Waheed Akbar Bhat­ti from Aal­borg Uni­ver­si­ty, Den­mark have joint­ly inves­ti­gat­ed to what extent glob­al val­ue chains for renew­able ener­gies can be an oppor­tu­ni­ty for Euro­pean com­pa­nies and economies in the fight against cli­mate change?

The team will present its find­ings pub­licly on Decem­ber 2, 2021, start­ing at 9 a.m. at the Busi­ness Eco­nom­ics Brown Bag Sem­i­nar. The lec­ture series at HWR Berlin is an open plat­form for busi­ness admin­is­tra­tion and relat­ed research and for sci­en­tif­ic discourse.

Oth­er lec­tures next Thurs­day will focus on the accep­tance of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, inef­fi­cien­cies in cryp­to mar­kets, and diver­si­ty on Ger­man super­vi­so­ry boards and boards of direc­tors. The event will be broad­cast live online and will be held part­ly in Eng­lish. Par­tic­i­pa­tion via the Zoom video con­fer­enc­ing sys­tem is pos­si­ble free of charge with­out pri­or registration.
