One month has already passed since
the end of a very special event – Energy Summer School powered by Slovenské
elektrárne and its partners and GLOBSEC Academy Centre was a part of this
energetic ride.
The Energy Summer School was organized under the auspices
of H.E. Maroš
Šefčovič, Vice President of the European Commission for Energy
Union, who decided to personally meet the students and discuss with them about
their ideas on Europe’s energy outlook.
In 2016, Energy Summer School welcomed a 20
excellent university students regardless of their field of study or degree and
the team behind the Energy Summer School further extended its reach to include participants
from all Visegrad 4 countries and also participants from Lithuania, Bosnia and
Hercegovina, Uganda and Albania.
The 2016 program was full of
interactive workshops and discussions with high level representatives of the European and international energy
sector, energy
experts, analysts and journalists, while organizing visits to several power
plants and installations that are normally off limits for public, with
trainings and various social and networking activities.
The overall impact and atmosphere
cannot be better described than using following two quotes, one from the
panelist Adrzej Anczgier, Climate Analytics, saying that: “This school is fascinating especially when I listen to the questions,
which are extremely sophisticated and at a very high level. To answer them is
also difficult for professionals. But there is much more that goes into the
school because we need more elites, new elites. We need new leaders and those
leaders are being created here. This school is great and we need more of this.”
And another one by Jan Málek, Participant of Energy Summer School who added
that: “It was extremely powerful
experience in the sense that I have met a lot of people who are absolutely into
the topic, who want to be active in the field of energy in the future and these
contacts will be very helpful in the future.”
Project manager of GLOBSEC Academy
Centre Martina Šinkovičová took part in this extraordinary series of debates,
trainings and visits as well and also presented the work of GLOBSEC Academy
Centre to participating students.
To make a long story short – Energy
Summer School team, you did a great job! And GLOBSEC Academy Centre strongly
recommends to all student with vivid interest in energy topics to participate
at Energy Summer School 2017!
