The European Energy Centre (EEC) Institute is an independent professional educational body for the renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric vehicles sectors.[1][2] The EEC along with the affiliated Centro Studi Galileo runs a biennial European Conference on renewable energy, heating and cooling applications. EEC's focus is on renewable energy education, training and conferences to help develop a workforce capable of designing, installing, repairing and maintaining renewable energy equipment and managing renewable energy projects.[3]
The European Energy Centre and Centro Studi Galileo work with the United Nations Environment Programme[4][5] (UNEP)[6] the Intergovernmental International Institute of Refrigeration[7] and Centro Studi Galileo,[8] along with Universities such as Edinburgh Napier University and Heriot-Watt University in promoting the use of renewable energy technologies across the United Kingdom.
The European Energy Centre is also active European-wide[9] with conferences in refrigeration, air conditioning and renewable energy, specifically Heating and Cooling technologies, see the 14th European Conference at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.[10]
The training activities of the European Energy Centre, the European Centre of Technology, and its parent company Centro Studi Galileo are promoted through partners.[11] [12][13]
