In this year’s "Back to Business” event IENE’s Fund Drive campaign for 2014/2015 will also be launched. This is the first time that the Institute is organizing a focused and coordinated Fund Drive over a six month period (Oct2014-March2015). The aim of the Fund Drive is to raise financial support for the Institute’s varied activities across SE Europe and so enable it to develop further its research and study programmes, move into more spacious and modern offices and organize and expand its scientific library. In addition moneys to be raised through the Fund Drive will enable the IENE to develop and promote programmes to tackle energy poverty, set up an employment office for young graduates and energy professionals but also establish the annual IENE awards for the promotion of innovation, entrepreneurship and regional co-operation in the energy sector.
