Brief description and objectives
How can specialists and managers help to make the energy system more resilient to crises? The project investigates the skills required by businesses, network operators, public administration, policymakers and academia to effectively address the challenges posed by climate change, cyber-attacks, geopolitical crises and other disruptions. Based on literature reviews, expert interviews and stakeholder workshops, the project is developing a scientifically grounded skills catalogue and a further education map for Lower Saxony. The aim is to identify skills requirements, systematically categorise existing training programmes and provide impetus for new continuing professional development formats. In doing so, the project contributes to strengthening the resilience of the energy system and lays the foundations for innovative training programmes in the context of the energy transition and the crisis resilience of critical infrastructure.
Target audience
The project is aimed at specialists and managers from energy companies, network operators, public administration, politics and academia, as well as at universities and further education institutions seeking to develop future-proof training programmes for resilient energy systems.
