WANT WENT WRONG? ENERGY SECTOR CASE

Are you a student interested in understanding what can go wrong in an energy sector project… and how a mistake can be turned into a valuable learning opportunity?

 

Take part in WHAT WENT WRONG: Energy Sector Case, an interactive format designed to challenge you with real-world energy industry cases, presented directly by companies and professionals from the sector.

During the event, you will be actively involved in practical challenges related for example to energy production and distribution, energy transition, sustainability, plant management, safety, infrastructure reliability, renewables, and technological innovation.

Each company will present a real problem faced in an energy-sector project and invite you to analyze the context, identify where things went wrong, and choose the solution you believe is correct between two possible options.

You will be able to submit your choice in real time through a live poll, comparing your reasoning with that of other students. Immediately afterward, the company will explain how the issue was actually resolved, outlining the decisions made, the mistakes encountered, and the key lessons learned.

 

The event will conclude with a Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to dive deeper into the cases, ask direct questions to industry professionals, and better understand the skills required in energy sector projects.

A dynamic and engaging format to strengthen your problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills, bringing you closer to the real challenges of the energy transition and the professional world. 

Sign up and take part!

Please note that the event will be held in English and is part of the Career Service Award.
