Aims at: Ukrainian German speaking students enrolled in bachelor programmes in the third or fourth year (but students with just good English language knowledge are also encouraged to apply) (10 places)
With the kind assistance of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Foreign Office of Germany, the Joint-German master-programme “German and European Studies”, offers ten fully funded travel-bursaries for Ukrainian German-speaking B.A. students who are considering entering the Jena-Mohyla double Master program in German and European studies, after finishing their B.A.
For more information about the programme, see http://www.des.uni-jena.de or https://www.facebook.com/DSG.NaUKMA/ or about the study trips from last year: http://www.lib.uni-jena.de/kooperationen/studienreise/
This year study trips aims at one of the most successful legislation processes in the younger German history: The political implementation of the German energy transition. Genuine German energy policy programs such as the “Renewable Energy Law” (EEG) and the associated promotion of renewable energies are worldwide role models in the energy transition from fossil fuels towards renewables energies. This study trip aims to explain what the “energy transition” is, how it works, and what challenges lay ahead. It is intended to provide facts and explain the politics and policies to interested Ukrainian B.A.-students.
Within the last 15 years, the Federal Republic of Germany took a whole series of measures to reduce the share of fossil fuels in its energy supply. Issues such as: promotion of energy efficiency, phasing out nuclear power, the supply of renewable energies in the electricity grid, and the intensive promotion of renewable energy are core elements of this energy revolution. According to statistics, the share of renewable electricity in Germany rose from 6 percent to nearly 25 percent in only ten years (2002-2012). On certain days the, supply from renewables makes up to half the country’s electricity demand.
The study tour will particularly highlight the political and economic dimension of the energy transition. The following questions should be answered: How does the legislative process work in FRG? Which stakeholders influence (try to influence) the adoption of energy related laws? What is the status of implementation of the energy transition? What challenges or which problems arise in the implementation of energy policy today? During the study trip, we will visit local, national and international political as well as economical institutions related to the theme of “Energy transition” and “Renewable energies in Germany.” We will hear lectures, about German federal legislation process (with visits to Bundestag, Bundesrat, Ministry of Economics and the Ministry of Environment). In addition to the visit of the state agencies and research institutions we will visit companies and energy corporations, which work on a daily bases in the field of energy transition.
The dedicated Ukrainian bachelor students have to prepare presentations in the field of “German energy policy”, “Lobbying within the Energy sector”, “German environmental policies” and “legislation process in the federal republic of Germany” and have to present their reports during the study trip in Germany.
