KIT IIP

Both chairs of the IIP were at the "Haus der Kirche" in Bad Herrenalb for a seminar with a total of 45 participants (and 2 connected online).
After many interesting presentations by the participants throughout the day, there was a small recreational program on the first evening: a short hike to the viewing platform "Falkenstein", where the group photo was taken. It had a beautiful view over Bad Herrenalb. On the way back some games like soccer, frisbee or spikeball were played in the city park in the center of Bad Herrenalb. The next morning the seminar ended with more contributions from the participants. Between the presentations there was no lack of pretzelbreakfasts, lunch or coffee breaks on any day.

On Monday, September 5, 2022, Prof. Stein-Erik Fleten from the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management at NTNU, Trondheim, will give a presentation on "Electricity forward prices: Risk premia and extrapolation".
