The Center for Advanced Undergraduate Study and Experience (CAUSE) is a formalized research experience for undergraduates, that investigates a unique and unrepeated theme. A small group of students (~12-16) are invited to participate in the course, that typically involves a course of field study or field work.

 

CAUSE 2015 is investigating the key factors contributing to the evolution of the diverse energy choices in Scandinavia – and in particular the circumstances, drivers and prospects for a sustainable energy future.
