Details	In 2017 the focus was on renewable energy, in 2018 on energy efficiency and in 2020 on management and education. Colleagues from ICU, Sophia University, Ritsumeikan University, Tokyo City University, Tokyo Kasei University, Toho University and Chiba University of Commerce jointly organized these workshops. The workshops received generous financial support from Japan ICU Foundation in New York, and from the German JSPS Alumni Association. A key motivation for organizing these workshops was the urgent need for Japan to replace nuclear energy by sustainable forms of energy, and to aim at a reduction of expensive fossil fuel imports. Universities that try to prepare young people for social and life challenges, need to both teach about alternatives and become credible role models for students and society in general.
