Previous editions
Enel Foundation has been a partner of the ATC initiative since its inception in 2014 and has since supported the continuous training of professionals and middle managers working in the public and private sector as well as in energy centers, universities and research agencies operating in the Mediterranean Basin and across the rest of Africa.
The 5th edition of the training, for example, involved over forty participants from Southern-Mediterranean and Sub-Saharan Africa countries such as Zambia, Morocco, Kenya, Egypt, Jordan, Somalia and Ghana.
The course is divided into lectures on the main technical, regulatory and financial features given by qualified international and Italian experts, academics and highly skilled technicians, and visits to innovative laboratories and power plants. The training is structured in a way to favor the sharing of experiences among participants by means of direct involvement and through fruitful interaction in group study activities.
