The transition from fossil fuels to non-polluting ones is a historical turn which is urgently needed. Such a process cannot be hindered by new rivalries among great powers. However, factors such as the rise of China, the technological revolution, and the post-pandemic restructuring of global supply chains are escalating the race for new resources to power our factories, cars, electronic devices. This will be a difficult but fascinating journey. Join our exploration by debating with scholars and experts who contribute to global debate in our intensive online summer school.

Contemporary Western discourse on freedom and choice – some of the most championed modern values – is usually anchored in the concept cluster of free will and autonomous choice.
