This immersive four-day seminar on EU energy policy combines lectures, debates, guided discussions, and a simulation game to link theory with practice. The course is structured as follows:

Module 1 | Understanding the Policy Context: an overview of EU energy policy, its governance structures, the European energy system, and the broader energy landscape.

Module 2 | Addressing Consumer Interests: exploring the social and economic dimensions of the energy transition, including just transition, markets and consumers, energy efficiency, and industrial policy and carbon pricing.

Module 3 | Meeting Europe's Energy Demand: examining the EU’s approach to renewable energy, electrification, hydrogen, energy security and international cooperation, as well as the financing tools supporting the transition.

Module 4 | Putting Policy into Practice – Simulation Game: a practical and interactive session in which participants simulate the roles of key actors in EU energy policy decision-making, and negotiate political priorities from the perspective of different EU policymakers.
