The action will comprise two components: 1) the establishment of a repository of training modules on a number of European energy policy areas (e.g. renewable energy technology, competitive auctions, balancing of power systems, building efficiency standards, hydrogen, energy efficiency, etc.) using concrete examples from the wide EU Member States experience and 2) outreach activities such as presentations, study visits and regional seminars to targeted countries and regions, dissemination of training modules and support to EU Delegations to identify further activities with third countries.
