By- Dr. Bindu Nath Lohani
The Sustainable Energy Transition Program (Formerly 'Energy') conducted the 'Bangabandhu Chair Dialogue Lecture Series: Seminar - I' on the topic "Revisiting Development Processes in Asia: How Can Fast Growing Economics of Today Adopt, Adapt and Leapfrog?", by Dr. Bindu Nath Lohani, on Wednesday, 13th February, 2019 under the EECC Seminar Series, facilitated by Bangabandhu Chair Professor Joyashree Roy.
Abstract:
Asia's growth in the past four decades has been remarkable. Asia is expected to grow at its fastest till mid century both economically and demographically. Especially there are low incoming nations which are aspiring to become middle income countries and the middle income countries to high income countries but are also facing number of socio-political and environmental challenges. History shows these are not new in the process of economic development but lessons learnt from other countries can give useful insights for newly emerging nations.

The Sustainable Energy Transition Program (Formerly 'Energy') conducted the 'Bangabandhu Chair Dialogue Lecture Series: Seminar - II' on the topic "Energy System in Transition and its Impact on Research and Educational Program", by Prof. Mohsen Assadi on Wednesday, 20th February, 2019 under the EECC Seminar Series, facilitated by Bangabandhu Chair Professor Joyashree Roy.
Abstract:
​
To be compatible with global sustainability goals and climate goals various IPCC reports, including the special report and scientists worldwide are at consensus about necessary mega transformations that are going to happen in the coming two decades. One such sector which will possibly see the fastest transformation is Energy systems. The discourse globally is trying to find ways and means to resolve the issue of readiness of Human Resources who can manage these transitions globally. Training and research need to gear up much faster than present trend and scale to get appropriate Human Resources in new areas with energy supply and demand sectors.

By- Dr. Sabuj Kumar Mandal
The Sustainable Energy Transition Program (Formerly 'Energy') conducted the 'Bangabandhu Chair Dialogue Lecture Series: Seminar - III' on the topic "Impact of Energy Efficiency on Economic Growth: A Non- Linear Panel Data Estimation", by Dr. Sabuj Kumar Mandal on Tuesday, 4th June, 2019 under the EECC Seminar Series, facilitated by Bangabandhu Chair Professor Joyashree Roy.
Abstract:
​
Energy efficiency impact growth differently at different points of productivity distribution Data Envelopment Analysis (IEA) is used and quantile regression for panel data estimates show relationship between energy efficiency and economic growth during 1993-2013 with global data. At the global level, different countries have been experiencing different levels of energy efficiency and are in diverse junctures of their economic energy efficiency policies. Impact of energy efficiency improvement is relatively higher for countries with very low or very high level of technological innovation and relatively lower for countries with medium level of technological innovations.
