THE SUMMER STUDY IS SUPPORTED BY

The Intelligent Energy – Europe programme addresses key energy challenges of EU. It deals with issues such as:

• how can we take advantage of market opportunities for more renewable energy?
• how can we increase the uptake of new technologies and of more energy intelligent habits?
• how can we convert EU policy on energy efficiency and renewables into action on the ground?

The programme is implemented by the Intelligent Energy Executive Agency (IEEA).
