"Attending the summer school in the Global Energy Transition in a Fossil World course at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, was an inspiring and eye-opening experience. As a materials engineer, I gained a deeper understanding of how technology, policy, and sustainability intersect in shaping the future of clean energy.
I collaborated with peers from multiple countries, each bringing unique cultural and professional perspectives. This global classroom encouraged me to think beyond technical solutions and consider the social and economic dimensions of sustainability. Our group project on solar panel waste management was especially rewarding, allowing me to apply engineering knowledge to real sustainability challenges.
Beyond academics, the social events, bike tours, and city explorations created lifelong friendships and memories. The balance between learning and exploration truly embodied the spirit of Amsterdam—curious, creative, and collaborative.
Overall, the VU Summer School was not just an academic experience; it was a journey of global learning, cultural exchange, and personal growth. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone eager to expand their perspective and contribute to a sustainable future."
