Within our mission to advance a socio-ecological transformation in Southeast Europe, we are dedicated to a comprehensive approach to energy transition. Energy Community Summer School is a program initiated by the Energy Community Secretariat in 2015 to promote the development of participants' competencies in energy-related topics. Summer School has a dedicated, multi-disciplinary program that provides a platform to exchange and contribute to shaping the future of all energy sectors. It targets highly motivated postgraduate students (masters or Ph.D.), researchers from all energy-related disciplines, and young professionals. Participants of the Energy Journalism program are considered a part of the Summer School 2024 cohort and have access to the program of the Summer School.
