INETTT Training on Renewables in Energy Transitions

This in-person training will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of renewable energy and its role in building sustainable power systems. Over five days, you will explore power markets, the role of regulators, and the socio-economic and political dimensions crucial to holistic energy transitions. It further features sessions on communicating strategically and effectively on policy opportunities to shape energy transition debates. 

We invite applications from mid-career professionals from INETTT member think tanks with diverse backgrounds who engage with energy transition topics in their work and already have prior knowledge of power systems.  

Through expert-led sessions and a collaborative learning experience, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge, exchange perspectives with their international peers and build broader energy transition alliances.
