2019 was Bumper Year for the Institute as Noted in the latest Edition of "IENE News"

In the latest "IENE News" newsletter (Spring-Fall 2019, Isssue No.7) which was released on April 24 a thorough review is made of the Institute's activities for most of last year.

As noted in the Editorial " Apart from organising a diverse programme of conferences and workshops in Greece and in several other European countries (14 events in all) the Institute managed to broaden its activities further by conducting a series of high level educational courses addressed to business executives and professionals while it strengthened its research and study capabilities. At the same time the IENE strived to upgrade and enrich its regular and ad hoc information output, mainly addressed to its members, and which consists of well researched and highly topical newsletters and monographs. In short 2019 proved to be a bumper year!"

Reading through this latest briefing from IENE one cannot fail but notice the relatively large number of diverse events, including educational courses, which were organized by the Institute in different parts of Europe and often in cooperation with local partners. Another important aspect of IENE activities, which is amply underlined in this latest issue of "IENE News", is the extensive analytical work carried out by the Institute's "Research and Studies Unit".

With the Unit’s output being highly visible through the Institute’s regular weekly and monthly publications. In addition the Unit is increasingly becoming involved with strategy oriented studies which the Institute is conducting on a multi-client basis or on behalf of institutional clients. Latest example includes the study on "Gas Trading Hubs in SE Europe” which was completed last November and was backed by Austria’s Central European Gas Hub (CEGH), the Hellenic Energy Exchange (EnEx), the Independent Gas Transmission Operator of Greece (DESFA) and the Motoroil company, a major refining and power company. With a number of other important studies completed last year such as the Energy Self Sufficiency Study for Kastellorizo island, the research and studies team of IENE is now fully engaged with the preparation of the Institute’s flagship publication, the "SEE Energy Outlook 2020” which is to be released in the Fall of 2020.

In short the latest issue of "IENE News" contains a wealth of information on the various activities which the Institute was engaged in during most of last year including a resume of its team ofExternal Associates who are contributing to the Institute’s regular information output and its variousstudies.
