Building on the success of our online training, Specialised Training on the Regulation of Gas Markets, we are excited to bring this year’s edition in person with a refreshed and expanded programme.

Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in a site visit, adding a practical dimension to their learning experience.
Join us in person this November for 3 dynamic days, gain hands-on insights into global gas trends, regulation, and trading.
The FSR Gas Fundamentals covers the basic principles and rules applying to gas markets, including infrastructure regulation, network codes, balancing markets, gas hubs functioning, market incentives, and restrictions.
Along with a general assessment of the gas market context, the course gives an overview of the various and diverse gas regulations and policies applying in different geographical contexts (ex., EU, Latin America).

No specific academic background is required, and professionals of all levels are welcome. Nevertheless, a basic knowledge of energy regulation and policymaking is recommended. The training is provided in English.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
