EPG Summer School 2025

Starting on June 30^th, the EPG Summer School opens its doors for the eighth time. Standing out as a unique initiative in Romania, the programme offers students and young professionals in-depth insights into the challenges facing the energy sector, as well as the impact of various solutions that contribute to the energy and climate transition. Knowledge will be shared by academic experts, public policy professionals, and top-level specialists from the energy industry.

This year’s edition, organised by EPG, consists of five intensive days of courses, debates, and technical visits, taking place in Bucharest and Constanta. After learning in classrooms about current industry topics—such as strengthening electricity networks, expanding renewable energy production capacity, industrial decarbonisation, and digitalisation—participants will have the opportunity to visit a power substation, a wind farm, a passive house, and the Cernavoda nuclear power plant.

“We are looking forward with great enthusiasm to the new edition of the EPG Summer School, which starts in just a few days. We’ve already had the chance to meet the participants at two workshops held ahead of the official programme launch. We are joined by highly engaged and motivated young people, eager to explore the best solutions to support the energy and industrial transition towards a net-zero future. Both myself and the EPG team, along with our lecturers and partners, are delighted to contribute—as facilitators of knowledge and experience—to shaping the next generation of experts,” said Bogdan Leu, Director of the EPG Summer School Programme.

Energy Policy Group (EPG) is an independent, non-profit think tank focused on energy and climate policy in Romania and the European Union. Founded in 2014, EPG operates as a policy research institute primarily financed through competitive grants, philanthropic organisations and, to a limited extent, private sector projects. EPG aims to promote an evidence-based dialogue on how to balance decarbonisation, economic competitiveness and social fairness, engaging decision-makers, industry, and the public.
