Programas de formación para asistentes estudiantiles (f/m/d)

The world's energy systems are changing. Renewable energy has moved from a niche technology to broad-scale adoption in many countries around the globe. Policy makers in many countries are struggling with the technical, economic, and political complexities of the transformation. Understanding these processes and challenges is essential for taking political decisions and ensuring a smooth transition to a clean energy system. This is where we get involved. As Agora Think Tanks, we pursue the goal of achieving a climate-neutral energy system worldwide by the middle of the century. With currently around 180 employees at four locations around the globe, we combine research, dialogues, and technical assistance - independently and free of economic or party-political interests.

Our training portfolio offers participants the opportunity to learn directly from our technical experts and to exchange with a diverse community of peers. We provide trainings covering topics such as electricity market design, grids and renewables, and industrial transformation. Through interactive programmes, participants gain a deeper understanding of energy policy, the transformation of power systems, and industry transformation pathways.
