Providing an overview of the latest research, innovation and analysis in climate change, the energy transition and disasters solutions.

The ANU Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions’ (ICEDS) professional short course program brings climate, energy and disaster decision-makers together with ANU researchers to discuss recent advances in climate science, the energy transition, and disaster-risk science in the context of real-world scenarios. ICEDS short courses explore the social, environmental and economic aspects of climate change, energy change, and disaster preparedness/response, including the challenges and opportunities for policy makers and practitioners across our Asia-Pacific region and the world.

Standard, tailored or private short courses delivered online, in-person or in hybrid mode.

We have an established and successful design for our short courses, and regularly offer our standard and tailored courses for individual bookings. We can also offer private short courses to meet your specific organisational needs. This may include specialised topics, industry and policy engagement, or a course that is timed to suit your team’s work program. For more information, contact the ICEDS Executive Education team at icedscourses@anu.edu.au.

Our short courses always comprise multipe topic lectures, with each led by a leading ANU affiliated researcher, practitioner or policy-maker who specialises in that topic.
