Teaching and learning material by the Energy, Climate, and Environment Program (ECE)

The IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program and its staff are involved in many activities to support learning about model-based E/C/E research, especially using software and tools such as the MESSAGEix framework that we use ourselves. This page outlines and links to some of these activities & opportunities, and also the teaching & learning materials and resources used in those activities.

Learning can take place in many ways, from self-directed study by individuals to for-credit courses at degree-granting institutions taught by a knowledgeable instructor. The right materials and venue for learning depends on factors including your current level of knowledge, learning goals, and time and resources you have available. The aim of this page is to clearly describe all the activities and materials so you can make an appropriate choice for your needs.
