Teachers of the faculty will carry out fruitful work on the program of Norwegian-Ukrainian cooperation .

The purpose of the program is to provide free assistance to Ukrainian companies in preparing real energy efficiency and renewable energy projects and attracting funding for their implementation.

Areas of cooperation:

Ongoing assistance to Ukrainian companies in project preparation.

Conducting information seminars to identify and prepare new potential projects on energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.

Training of project developers, preparation of business plans and project ideas (PIN) for new projects.

Cooperation with state authorities of Ukraine and exchange of experience.

Preparation and publication of the manual: "Business planning of projects in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources"

The faculty members are part of a group of experts from Ukraine who, together with Norwegian experts from the Norsk Energi Association of Energy Producers and Consumers, are developing a guide for Ukrainian developers of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects " Business Planning for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Projects " .
