This Executive Programme has broadened and deepened my knowledge of the drivers and methods for transition and innovation in the energy sector, which are key in moving towards a more sustainable energy system. The presentations are of a high standard and the engaging lecturers and diverse group of participants led to interesting discussions, inside and outside the lecture room. A relevant course for anyone who wants to contribute to the transformation of our energy system.

I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to attend the Executive Programme on Energy Transition and Innovation. Along with highlighting latest breakthrough solutions for energy business the Programme gives an outstanding overview of the experience and knowledge gained through years of research and experiments. It shows how science fiction can become a reality. Thanks to this Programme I started “thinking beyond the box” even more than I did before and apply this to my daily work. The international courses of NEBS enables you to meet people from various organisations that creates a very interesting, inspiring and horizon broadening environment, and Energy Transition and Innovation Programme is another wonderful example of it.
