Seminar Energiemärkte in Kooperation mit Praxispartnern

Energy Systems and Market Design Lab led by Prof. Dr. Veronika Grimm (UTN), in cooperation with the Chair of Economics, Industrial Organization, and Energy Markets (Prof. Dr. Gregor Zöttl, FAU) and various industry partners, is offering an interdisciplinary seminar on energy markets during the Summer Semester 2025 under the theme “Energy, AI and economic growth”. The seminar will take place as a block course during the semester. The seminar language is English.

The seminar can be credited as either Seminar zur Wirtschaftstheorie (WiSo, Bachelor), Seminar Energy Markets (WiSo, Master), or Energieökonomisches Seminar (WiSo, Bachelor as well as TechFak).

The goal of the seminar is to discuss problems and developments in the energy market based on economic theories, both through theoretical modeling and practical applications.
