Summary
The COP21 Simulation will be held by the Climate-KIC Alumni Association (CKAA) in London, Berlin and Zurich. Professionals and academics are invited to debate and discuss on one of the main topics of the COP21. Young professionals and students are invited to join this discussion.
Attendees of the event try to achieve a goal in a simulated COP event. While doing this they will increase their understanding on how negotiations and diplomacy are involved. The outcome can be compared to the results of simulations in different locations: London, Berlin and Z�rich.
The simulation is guided by our team of our Climate-KIC Alumni Association. The Climate-KIC Alumni Association is a community, which has created a network that binds highly skilled professionals from across Europe with a single focus: Creating solutions to combat climate change through the generation of new businesses.
The Alumni Association forms an important part of the European Union�s main climate and innovation initiative known as Climate-KIC. It is open to all graduates of Climate-KIC�s education programmes, as well as start-up companies that have gone through the accelerator programme.
