The Institute’s Annual Report for 2019 which also covers activities for the first half of this year, has just been uploaded on IENE’s website. The Annual Report provides accurate information about the Institute of Energy of South-East Europe (IENE) and its activities and is mainly addressed to its Partners, its members, it’s institutional stake holders as well as to energy professionals, to government agencies and state supervised organizations in SE Europe.
The first part of this report covers the Institute’s activities for 2019, including financial data, while the second half presents an account of its proceedings for the first half of 2020.
The Annual Report and IENE’s Balance Sheet for 2019 was approved by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of October 21, 2020. Normally the AGM takes place in June but this year due to complications arising from the coronavirus pandemic it was postponed for October.
A quick glance at the Annual Report helps to understand the work carried out by IENE including the regular information gathered, analysed and subsequently sent to its members which constitutes one of the Institute’s core activities, in addition to research, study work and educational activities undertaken by it. Furthermore, the report describes IENE's activities in the area of events including conferences, workshops, discussion groups in Greece but also in other countries of SE Europe. Last year and early in 2020, IENE organized conferences and seminars providing its members and associates access to expert knowledge in the area of energy but also helped them gain access to recognized experts in the broad energy sector. At the same time IENE’s members can participate in high level discussions with important actors of the energy sector as well as representatives from the academic and research community.
The second part of the Annual Report focuses on the research and study activities of the Institute, which constitutes another highly important activity. The retrieval and presentation of relevant data originating from completed studies, reveals the depth and breadth of the work undertaken by the Institute. Finally, an account is presented of the conferences and other events organized by the Institute in Greece and in other countries of SE Europe, as well as of its educational work, which has focused mostly on high level specialized professional courses.
The overall aim of the Annual Report is to present the reader with a comprehensive picture of IENE, its organization and range of activities. IENE is essentially a regional institute operating in the broader area of South East Europe. Over the years the Institute has been established as an important reference point on SEE energy issues.
