The University of Coimbra, one of the oldest universities, has even more traditions that the University of Michigan, another college town.

This multidisciplinary program is an initiative of the University of Coimbra (UC), bringing together faculty from Engineering, Economics, Architecture and other programs in the areas of energy and sustainable development. The program aims at transferring knowledge to society through interaction with policy makers, managers, and technicians in positions of responsibility throughout multiple sectors of activity. To keep a strong link with real-world problems, the EfS initiative engages companies and other organizations that identify with its purposes. The University of Coimbra offers advanced educational programs, which include a Masters degree and a Doctoral degree, in association with the MIT Portugal Program. Professor Batterman assists in the development of this program.
