ORANJESTAD -- On the 16th and 17th of January the government of Aruba will be host to a unique Aruba-Harvard seminar on energy and sustainable development. Participating in this innovative seminar will be seven distinguished Harvard University professors.
These professors will address, in general terms as well as in some detail, the efforts of Aruba with respect to sustainable energy, and the challenges and plans for the future.
The primary objective of the Aruba-Harvard seminar and workshop is to explore creative solutions for Aruba and for the entire region with a focus on the reputation of Aruba as a first class center in Latin America and the Caribbean for scientific study and matters of public policy. According to the government of Aruba, this seminar is a logical consequence of and a compliment to our Institute for Renewable Energy and our Annual Conference on Green Energy. It becomes a smaller and less formal setting to study these very important topics.
The Harvard delegation will be joined by local Aruban experts and TNO as well as by distinguished professors of the University of Technology in Delft.
Professor Daniel P. Schrag, director of the Center for Environmental Studies at the Harvard University and a member of the advisory council on science and technology to President Obama is considered the leading world expert on climate change. He has expressed great interest in Aruba and what this island is doing in the area of sustainability and renewable energy and will be one of the members of the group to hold the seminar and workshop here on the 16th and 17th of this month.
Aruba will use this opportunity to also showcase what and how we are contributing in the region with our center for sustainability and renewable energy.
