The International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT) is a group of independent, non-profit think tanks dedicated to working on the energy transition to achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.
Founded in 2020, INETTT leverages the collective knowledge and expertise of our member think tanks from across the globe who carry out research and form fact-based policy proposals to accelerate energy transition debates into implementation. At both national and international levels, INETTT provides a trusted dialogue space to share knowledge, build capacities, form strategic positions, and conduct research and policy advice on accelerating the energy transition towards climate neutrality.

The Southeast Europe Energy Transition Network (SE3T.net) was founded in 2018. The network consists of 8 regional partner organizations and covers two “sub-regions”: Southeast European countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania) and the Western Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia).
The network’s mission is to contribute to an enhanced understanding of the economic potential, technical feasibility, and relevant policy tools for the transition to a sustainable energy future. Through rigorous analytical work, we build the evidence-base and provide thought leadership on the best solutions. Since no single institution can fully grasp the entire complexity of the transition, SE3T.net’s goal is to foster and support regional cooperation in Southeast Europe as well as to encourage intensive dialogue with major stakeholders from the public sector, industry, academia, and civil society.
