Renewable Energies Transfer Systems (RETS) seminars
22nd-24th February 2011
Ashley Building, Staffordshire University
The main objective of RETS is to help improve the knowledge and competencies of local and regional policymakers (decision makers, civil servants...) in renewable energies, so as to facilitate the deployment of coherent and value added strategic renewable energies policies.
The aim of the tailored RES seminars for local authorities is to transfer knowledge, good practices and stimulate policy implementation. This will be done through a series of talks, workshops, small group activities etc.
