Master Program "Renewable Energies" (RENE) from 8 different countries
for a 1-day innovation seminar. The seminar title “Holistic sustainability
approach to innovation” indicated already the transdisciplinary view on

and energy monitoring systems in order to discuss and collectively develop
possible improvements. The state of the art of each technology a holistic
visioning of the future of each technology within the horizon 2050 generated
ambitious discussions focusing on the creative potential of these future “game
changes” of KIC InnoEnergy.
