The aim of this course is to bring young engineers in touch with concepts of Law that affect their working fields. The course aims to help them understand and be able to resolve issues that arise during the drafting of public/private project contracts and the relevant licensing procedures. In addition, it aims to provide students with general knowledge of legal rules and how to interpret them, as well as to make them familiar with the way of operation and delivery of justice and the concept of judicial reasoning. Within the complexity of their fields, the young engineers should be able to understand basic concepts of Public and Technical Law and to gain some familiarity with Public Works contracts, Maritime Law, and the Law of the Sea, as well as with the particularities of the tax environment across the EU, within which they will pursue a career. International and European Law are also taught aiming to provide the young engineers with broad knowledge on energy related investments, on issues regarding the transit and the cross-border energy transport, on how the EU institutions operate and last but quite crucial, on how the EU energy and environmental Law and Policy are being shaped and developed. Finally, Energy Law is taught, and students are introduced to the field of Energy Law and in particular: the evolution of the energy sector historically, the concept of energy security, the environmental and energy strategies of the European Union. Under that prism, students are also introduced to the operation of the Target Model, the tendency for the digitalization of Energy and the problems in contractualization of purchase and sale transactions, as well as to the evolution of the Renewable Energy Sources sector and to the Licensing Process of energy and environmental projects.
