Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme: Positive Energy Districts

Dalarna University is thrilled to offer a new Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) in Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) for graduate-level exchange students. With its two weeks of study (one in Sweden/one online) and international student group, this BIP promises to be a unique educational experience for 3 ECTS credits.

This course will be coordinated by Prof. Xingxing Zhang, the project coordinator of PED-ACT and professor of Energy and Environmental Technology in School of Information and Engineering in Dalarna University. 

The two-week programme aims to support the capacity-building of students in Master’s and doctoral programmes. The programme will result in the transfer of essential knowledge to relevant stakeholders in the Erasmus+ network who are committed to supporting the development of PEDs and the transformation of cities to carbon-neutral status. This course will take place in the new campus of Dalarna University, which is one of the most modern campuses in Sweden.

This course is jointly developed by researchers from IEA Annex 83 and EU Cost Action CA19126. For more information, please find the link here.

It is recommended to register your interest (for administrative purposes) by 1 March 2024. From 15 March 2024, you can submit your application on www.du.se/applytocourses.

In addition, Dalarna University will pay for the accommodation fees for the first 15 registered students.
