Assessment of renewable energy training in Europe
A survey of training tools in the field of renewable energy sources in the European Union is being carried out on behalf of the European Commission, DG XVII, in an action of the specific programme for the promotion of energy technology, THERMIE. The survey is being carried out by the Centro de la Nuevas Tecnologías Energéticas (CENET) in collaboration with the European Forum for Renewable Energy Sources (EUFORES). The major part of the survey involves compiling a catalogue of training tools available in the EU. In order to do this, the project partners are circulating a questionnaire to training organizations, companies conducting research in the field, and companies manufacturing and installing equipment using renewable energy sources. The questionnaire aims to establish the training available, and the types of activities undertaken involving renewable energies in the marketplace.
