Get up to speed on the impact of the energy transition on European energy sector
The energy sector is undergoing a major transformation that has only just begun and that will affect all of European society.
This 4-day programme looks at how the 2015 Paris Agreement will lead to a shift from a fossil-fuel-based energy system to a zero-emission system based on renewable energies. It addresses and integrates all the key economic, technological, political and regulatory aspects of this major change and will highlight the opportunities provided by new developments around electrification, green gases, smart grids and smart cities.
How you benefit
- Acquire strategic perspective on European energy transition
- Anticipate challenges and opportunities
- Acquire international network of peers and expert
- Site-visit to the European parlement
About the programme
This programme will give you a complete overview of how European energy markets work and how they are expected to be transformed by the transition to a zero-emission energy system.
It is a must for anyone who wants to gain a critical understanding of this hugely important and complex development that will affect us all.
