Energy Community Summer School[1] 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 and 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. Energy Community Secretariat and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Dialogue Southeast Europe are partnering for the third year in 2023 to provide a unique addition to the Summer School program, focusing on energy journalism.
FES SOE recognizes the challenges for energy transition across the region and is devoted to advancing a socio-ecological transformation. We have committed to several activities that will aid this holistic approach to the energy transition, one of them being the promotion of energy the energy transition and creating positive narratives that build social acceptance for the transition; we continue our support to the training of energy journalists in the region.
