Energy Challenges: Present and Future
2013 ICREA-CCCB Debates
“Energy Challenges: Present and Future” is the second cycle of the ICREA-CCCB Debates, in which the two institutions regularly work together to present to the public the advances and challenges of high-level research being carried out today here in Catalonia. Each debate will present a project of researchers at the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA – Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies) in different fields of knowledge. This time, the discussion focuses on the challenges arising from production, management and use of energy.
