Training

Our training programmes support civil society organisations, think tanks and researchers working to advance a just and effective energy transition. They combine Agora’s technical, policy and communications expertise with practical application, facilitated peer learning and the experience participants bring from their own professional contexts. 

Working collaboratively, participants explore new approaches and develop concrete responses to their own transition challenges. Participant-focused methods create space to co-create, test and refine ideas while learning from the perspectives within the group. Participants leave with concrete ideas and a strengthened network, ready to drive change and accelerate the energy transition worldwide. 

Power systems must evolve to accommodate growing shares of renewable energy while remaining reliable, affordable and flexible. Our trainings explore the policies, infrastructure and market frameworks that can support this transformation, including electricity market design, grid planning and expansion, system flexibility, storage and renewable energy integration. 

Successful energy transitions depend on more than technological solutions. Our trainings examine how policy, governance and implementation strategies can respond to different political, economic and regional contexts, while addressing the social and economic dimensions of change.

Robust analysis provides an essential foundation for energy policy and public debate. Our trainings engage participants with energy data, analytical methods and modelling tools – from energy system analysis and scenario development to open-source tools such as PyPSA – and explore how data-driven analysis can inform policy and be communicated effectively. 

Advancing the energy transition requires more than technical expertise: it also requires people who can bring stakeholders together, exchange perspectives and develop shared solutions. We therefore offer dedicated programmes, including Train-the-Trainer, that enable participants to co-create innovative, stakeholder-focused formats and facilitate learning experiences that turn expertise into shared learning and action.
