Dear all,
I am pleased to share that we have officially launched the call for
applications
<https://www.agora-energiewende.de/en/the-energiewende/training-programme/>
for the Enertracks Spring 2021 virtual study tour, which will take place *from
May 31-June 30*. Applications will be accepted from *now until March 28. *
*What is Enertracks? *
The EnerTracks training programme was developed by Agora in cooperation
with the Renewables Academy (RENAC) and aims to share sector specific
knowledge with independent thought leaders working in the field of the
transformation of energy systems in low- and middle-income countries. It is
funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature
Conservation and Nuclear Safety and is made up of three training paths:
1. The Enertracks Fellowship
2. Study tours
3. Online training
Both the fellowship and study tours would usually take place in person, but
due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions, we have postponed all in-person
programming until further notice. In the meantime, we will continue to
offer virtual Study Tours and online courses throughout 2021.
*What is the Virtual Study Tour? *
The virtual EnerTracks Study Tour was designed with a practice-orientated
approach to enhance and strengthen the ability of participants to engage in
thoughtful dialogue with energy policy stakeholders in their home country.
Through this 5-week interactive online programme, a competitively selected
group of 12-18 energy transition professionals are provided with immersive
training in electricity system modelling, design thinking, and renewable
energy finance. Since 2018, a total of 60 participants from different
countries have taken part in the EnerTracks in-person and virtual study
tours. To see the full programme, click here
