Building on the success of our online training, Specialised Training on the Regulation of Gas Markets, this intensive, 3-day course takes place in Florence with a refreshed and expanded programme.
The course was structured in a way that allowed me to gain a solid understanding of European gas market frameworks, policies, and regulatory instruments, while also delving into the practical challenges facing the sector today. The instructors were leading experts and provided insights backed by real-world examples, making complex concepts both accessible and engaging. I feel much more confident in navigating the regulatory landscape after taking this course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge in this specialized field.
Be sure to keep on track with the latest developments in European gas regulation thanks to devoted EUI-staff.
I found the gas regulation course to be extremely informative and beneficial. The content was comprehensive, and the panel discussions provided valuable insights into the latest industry developments. I feel more confident in my understanding of gas sector regulations and their impact on the market.
This course has a potential of putting you in a nice position to debate about gas with anyone. I truly recommend it!
An excellent course brought by a motivated and knowledgeable team at FSR and a set of distinct guest speakers. In one month's time, we delved into the mechanics behind global gas markets and how to best regulate them depending on the wanted outcome and their state of affairs. With an eye on the future, the course also touches on methane emissions regulation and the declining role of fossil gas in the EU. What will this mean for the fossil gas infrastructure and how to regulate them? Exciting topics to say the least!
I highly recommend attending the course since it enables not only possibility to understand functioning of the European Gas Market, but also the other relevant markets that are corresponding. The staff of the course is always very well prepared and ready to answer any questions
The course provides insights that are useful for a broad and general understanding of global gas markets and how the European markets are affected by local and global events.
A week with distinct experts and professionals from all over Europe and the world. Understanding energy markets and discussing them from multiple perspectives such as regulatory, economic and technical points of view is key to tackle the challenges we are facing today with an accelerating energy transition and energy sectors as well as markets yet to be coupled. A truly inspiring week at an outstanding institution!
What an exciting Gas week in Florence discussing the future of #gas regulation, the development and outlook of global gas demand and supply in Europe and worldwide, and so much more! I extend my thanks to Florence School of Regulation - FSR Energy for a great training, but most importantly, for bringing together so many inspiring professionals and amazing people! Looking forward to attending another course of the FSR!
A wholehearted thank you to the Florence School of Regulation. I had the pleasure to interact with the bright participants and instructors, who were challenging, asking to the point questions and giving their own views.
It was a great opportunity to learn from the European experience regarding the history, formation, and regulation of the gas market. It will be very useful knowledge for the challenges we have in my home country.
This course fully immerses participants into all aspects of gas market regulation while also covering the core technical principles. Collaboration between participants is very much encouraged and the course offers a great opportunity to exchange views with high level panellists. Overall, an excellent learning experience.
Hello from Turkey! I feel privileged to be a part of this amazing learning experience. “Specialized Training on the Regulation of Gas Markets” covers basic principles of gas regulation as well as the most current issues in Europe and in the world. Our focus at the Training on September-October 2020 was decarbonization. In a group, participants prepared a final project on the infrastructure for a decarbonized gas system. Also, we played Balancing Market Game, which was an interesting learning process. I really learned a lot from this training. Thank you FSR.
Thanks to the FSR for a wonderful experience within gas, energy and sustainability. I am proud to announce the completion of specialised training on gas markets and that my group won an excellence prize. Our final project, a paper on decarbonizing the EU gas sector will be published by FSR soon. Thank you, Marina, Ilaria and other FSR colleagues.
