  • Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease) September 25, 2015 - Renewable Energy Educational activities in the USA have been bolstered this week thanks to the announcement of an important EU-US collaboration.

    "It is clear that the renewable energy industry must further expand worldwide to drive forward the growth expected from upcoming UN climate talks. Our experience tells us that employees pursuing careers within the Renewable Energy sector require support to continue their professional development and keep pace with technological innovations within the industry," adds Paolo Buoni (Director, the European Energy Centre) - "Therefore, education and training must remain a priority for all individuals working within and affiliated with the renewable energy sector, and so we are very pleased to announce this collaborative Partnership with The George Washington University".

    The EEC has increased its training provisions in the United States of America, both online and in classroom training seminars. This is a continuation of the work that the EEC has done for the past 40 years: promoting best practice in renewable energy and energy efficiency, through training courses and conferences organised with the United Nations Environment Programme, and a strong network of relationships with global authorities and researchers in the field.

    The EEC works with major universities worldwide in order to provide specialist advice to individuals who are looking to progress their careers in the Renewable Energy sector, using university lecturers and practical experts with at least two decades of experience in the industry to deliver the training. The classroom sessions are consultancy-based, where delegates can ask questions and get advice from the Expert Lecturer. At the end of the courses, delegates are able to pursue their own Renewable Energy projects, with the help of the knowledge gained on the courses.

    The EEC is an independent educational body which has been operating since 1975. The EEC promotes best practice in renewable energy and energy efficiency through training courses and conferences with the United Nations (UNEP), intergovernmental organisations and 21 universities across Europe.
