About

The mission of The GREEN Program (TGP) is to educate and empower future sustainability leaders through innovative models of experiential education, travel, and adventure.  With classes and internships being cancelled for students, TGP is still delivering a career-building opportunity for participants with our two-part, modified program schedule, which introduces an online course delivery and a separate travel component once it's clear to travel again.

  • Attend online lectures taught by faculty and industry experts at Reykjavik University – Iceland School of Energy focused on the topics of sustainable entrepreneurship and policy, geology, geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, and electric power systems. 

  • Develop an understanding of various renewable energy technologies, its challenges and innovations in Iceland, and how it relates to global perspectives in the industry. 

  • In conjunction with the Lecture Series, get started on a Capstone Project proposal for an innovative, sustainability-focused solution to a modern energy problem that will be conducted during the on-site portion of the program. 

  • When it is safe to travel, embark on a custom program to experience where you will bring your classes to life and gain unparalleled access into Iceland's leading hydroelectric, geothermal, and biofuel facilities. Get up close and personal with impacts of climate change on a glacier walk. Learn about the basics of glaciology and the repercussions if we lose our planet's largest source of fresh water.
