Experts, Expertise and Energy Transition between Germany and Chile

The workshop is the result of a two-year cooperation between the MPI for the History of Science and the Universidad de Chile, funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. At the workshop, research results on the circulation of knowledge about energy between Germany and Chile will be presented and discussed. The circulation of knowledge will be illustrated by means of persons, objects, instruments, concepts and raw materials.
