CEENRG Director Prof. Laura Diaz Anadon presented and chaired a panel on “Institutions and Systems” at the Institute of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Chicago as part of the Long Program on “The Architecture of Green Energy Systems.” Her panel included Dr. Keywan Riahi, Director of the Energy, Climate and Environment Program and Principal Research Scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Visiting Professor at the University of Graz and Fellow at the Colorado School of Mines; Prof. Valentina Bosetti, Full Professor of Environmental and Climate Change Economics at Bocconi University, Senior Scientist at the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment, and prior chairwoman of Terna S.p.A. - Italy’s Transmission System Operator; and Prof. Wei Peng, Assistant Professor at the School of Public and International Affairs & Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, Princeton University, and Associate Director and Fellow at the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Johns Hopkins University.
The 10-week summer Program on “The Architecture of Green Energy Systems” is co-convened by Professor Laura Diaz Anadon, Prof. Dennice Gayme from Johns Hopkins University, Prof. Michael Ferris from University of Madison Wisconsin, and Prof. Andrew Philpott from the University of Auckland. The Program is hosted by the IMSI at the University of Chicago on 17 June - 23 August 2024. This is a trans-disciplinary program aimed at understanding the technological, social and economic challenges of transitioning to systems that generate, deliver and consume 100% renewable energy, with a view to creating an effective physical and institutional “architecture” for this transition. Participants in the Program are drawn from engineering, social sciences, economics and the mathematical sciences.
