This symposium will address the “transfer of ideas” approach in the study of the intellectual history of Europe and the United States, with a special focus on the hybridity of political and administrative ideas.

While a lot of attention is being placed on photovoltaic plants, only thermal solar energy displays real prospect for large-scale energy storage, required to overcome the intrinsic intermittency of...
