Iceland Renewable Energy Innovation & Sustainability

The GREEN Program is a 50+ hour intensive program held in partnership between The GREEN Program and Iceland School of Energy at Reykjavik University. Our faculty and industry experts teach classes on sustainable entrepreneurship and policy, geology, geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, and electric power systems. The course also includes facility tours to various power plants for hands-on learning such as hydroelectric and geothermal power plants. During the course, students form interdisciplinary groups and develop a final Capstone Project on a specific renewable energy subject which they present for evaluation in the end of the course. Each group is required to present a project highlighting an identified problem and solution to progress the SDGs. Students are required to present the project in full detail and cover the financial, political, education, engineering and social impact aspects of their innovative idea.
