Application Process for Germany CFAN 3520/ CFAN 5520
Students interested in learning about the technological, social, legal and public policy changes that occur as a society scales up its renewable energy commitment are encouraged to apply to CFAN 3520/ 5520. The course focuses on the renewable transition underway in Germany and in Minnesota. Sophomore, junior, senior and graduate students from any college or discipline and any University of Minnesota college and campus are encouraged to apply, as diversity of perspectives enhances the program. Students outside the University of Minnesota may also be accepted, if space permits.

Expectations for the course are: Strong interest in renewable energy transition, willingness to prepare before the trip and attend required Saturday workshops, ability to travel with a group, physical capacity to walk up to several miles a day, interest in active participation during the trip and in engagement in Minnesota's energy transition efforts upon return.

The students who attend the course will become part of a growing, nonpartisan group of both Minnesota and German leaders committed to energy transition and its economic and environmental benefits for society.

In order to be selected for Germany: Leading the Renewables Revolution CFAN 3520/ 5520, you will need to complete a study abroad application for this University of Minnesota's 3-credit January 2020 course, as well as answer the questions on this form (below).
