It was a great experience. I learned a lot of great new things about Iceland and energy.
The teachers were incredible. Each of them presented the information in an interesting, unique way that captured my attention. Moreover, the evaluation method was great. The fact that we had a lot of chances to get the answers right made us completely assimilate the information.

For me, I thought the ITRES grant would mean a chance to a thoroughgoing study of my already acquired general level knowledge about the energy specifics of a unique iceland-nation called Iceland. However, during the courses, I understood there's more to it than meets the eye. From the ergonomics of the Faculty's online portal, through the pragmatic thematic of the topics studied and the utilitarian efficiency of the educators up to the engineering approach for all the physics involved, all the experience transmits without any ambiguity the special way of life of the Icelander people, in line with the unicity of the geological specific of the island. Therefore, more than heavy-weight scientific concepts, the study I followed with the trainers from Reykjavik University proved to be a lesson of life for which I am grateful.

The ITRES‘ E-Learning program helped me acquire an international perspective about fundamental laws and essential topics related to how hydropower, geothermal, and power systems work. Furthermore, it allowed me to be part of a vibrant research community, engaged in cutting-edge experimental and theoretical studies of problems in the Renewable Energy field.

During this course I had a really nice experience by learning a lot of new information and discovering a different way of looking at renewable energy. I think the topic about geothermals attracted me the most because I was less accustomed with this type of energy resource and I still wonder how this idea crossed through people's minds. In general, the presentations were extremely cool and attractive despite the fact that it was online. Thank you for the knowledge and opportunity. I can't wait to visit geothermal and hydropower plants in Iceland.

My personal experience during the “E-Learning Energy in Iceland” course has been more than positive. The modules were very interesting and it came as a response for a lot of my questions about renewable energy, also the scientific articles and the quizzes that I had to cover during the course helped me for a better understanding of the knowledge I received.
The online platform of the “University of Reykjavik” surprised me in an exciting way because it is very easy to find information through it and it is very clear where you find the courses, the quizzes and the announcements.
The project report that we had to do for the ending of the course that consisted of a modality to resolve a problem in Romania based on renewable energy solutions helped me to shape a project idea that could be made and discover the problems Romania has in the present that could be solved in the future.
I am very glad and thankful I had the chance to participate at the “E-Learning Energy in Iceland” course.
