- Global Megatrends in Resource Recovery and Recycling by Gjergj Dodbiba (The university of Tokyo)
- Energy and climate change, trend and policy by Sumie Nakayama (J-POWER) and Hiroyasu Takase (QJ science)
- Global energy balance and related technologies by Jun Takahashi (The university of Tokyo)

- Second week: student's presentation and discussion concerning the topics
of the first week
- The first week in each of the four topics is a lecture from an expert in
the field, and interactive learning, including quizzes, will help you understand
what you are missing in your knowledge. In the second week of each topic,
you will be asked to give a presentation in groups of several people. Learn
how difficult it is to build consensus in multinational and interdisciplinary
groups, which is necessary to solve complex problems such as environmental
and energy issues.
