    Programme - aims and results

    For the third year in a row, the 2018 Energy Community Summer School gathered forty postgraduate students and young professionals to train and inspire the next generation of energy leaders. The programme/agenda was set to take into account the broader geographical context in Europe and to go beyond a comprehensive training programme. With a prime aim to deepen the participants’ understanding, the programme helped the participants to comprehend the energy sectors in their full complexity and provided them a platform of interaction, exchange and networking.

    Focusing on energy sectors in transition, the 2018 Summer School will examine the economic, technical, legal and political dimensions of energy sector governance. Featuring more than 35 interactive lectures and additional group works, this year’s curriculum was enriched by brand new lectures on energy systems of the future and challenges of the energy transition. In addition, new case studies shed light on pipeline politics and new generation infrastructure financing. 

    The Energy Community Summer School participants are the beneficiaries of energy market reform in the future and have an essential role to play in ensuring that the right steps are taken now, in order to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve quality of life and reduce energy costs for consumers in the future.
