Oldies en Rookies: leren van oude rotten in het vak!
Een topgast en een zaal met nieuwsgierige studenten, dat is de formule.
Jonge generaties willen snel leren en zich ontwikkelen. Daarbij maken ze ook graag gebruik van kennis en persoonlijke ervaringen van oudere experts in het vakgebied. Jongeren leren van oude rotten in het vak. Decennialange opgebouwde kennis gaat zo niet verloren.
MCN koppelt jonge mensen met ouderen in het vakgebied door het organiseren van bijeenkomsten waarin vragen en de dialoog met een 'Oude Rot' in het vak centraal staat. Nieuwsgierige studenten stellen vragen op het gebied van windenergie. De gast geeft interessante antwoorden.
Gast is Jos Beurskens. Een windpionier van het eerste uur. Hij zit al bijna 40 jaar in het vak en leidde jarenlang de unit Windenergie bij het Nederlands Energieonderzoek Centrum, ECN, in Petten. Jos is wereldberoemd om zijn technische kennis op het gebied van windenergie.
De presentatie en gespreksleiding is in handen van Chris Westra.
