Energy transition is one of the hottest topics of the moment. MAGS students tackle it with a real expert, Dr Lara. "The energy transition does not mean exchanging oil barrels for solar panels." says Lara "Rather, it poses the question of how we intend to produce and consume in the future to achieve sustainability of our system and a better balance with nature."

"Under present global circumstances, a substantial reflection on the relationship between nation-building, region-building and the role of great powers has become inevitable."
This is the core issue of the course offered to the students of the MAGS, by Prof Ludger Kühnhardt, Director of the Center for European Integration Studies (ZEI) at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn.
