On 5-8 May 2015, the Energy Charter Secretariat Knowledge Centre held the sixth edition in its series of Executive Training Programmes for Young Energy Professionals.

Following on from the successful training sessions held at the Energy Charter Secretariat in the past years, the May 2015 training focused on Strengthening Energy Transition in Ukraine and Europe’s Eastern Neighbourhood: Addressing the Region's Challenges through Good Governance Practices.

The Training revolved around four components:

  1. Four core 'knowledge streaming learning modules' from top level speakers, from both government and the private sector. Special focus was given to energy transition and governance in Ukraine and the EU's wider eastern neighbourhood, including Europe's Visegrad region.
  2. A field trip to the European Parliament.
  3. An interactive simulation exercise, where participants had the opportunity to negotiate on a gas supply agreement, including a reverse flow component, a novelty of this year's programme.
  4. Strong networking opportunities with specialists from international organisations, government, industry, EU officials, energy experts, NGOs, and many more.
