These multidisciplinary sessions cover a range of subjects, including research methodology, power system adaptability, and energy markets. Each of these sessions is supplemented by reading materials, online resources, and group discussions.
Each fellow addresses a particular transformation topic of their choice with the help of their Agora Energiewende mentors. In order to apply the lessons learned to the fellow’s domestic job, the topic should be pertinent from the standpoint of their own organization.
