“REGULATION OF GAS MARKETS"
21-25 March 2011, Florence
Period
21-25 March 2011
Location
Florence
Objectives
The Specialised training is a course dealing with a specific regulatory issue in electricity or gas markets. During the five working days, the morning is usually devoted to introduce the main principles of a particular key issue of energy utilities regulation, followed by a related real case example discussed in the afternoon.
The pool of teachers will include both academics as well as practitioners and in many cases, academics that have had an experience as regulators. At the end of the course, through a balanced mix of theory and case studies participants are expected to have a better knowledge of natural gas markets. Participants are also expected to leave the course having established a good network of contacts with other participants and the instructors. To achieve these objectives, participation will be limited to around 35 professionals, preferably coming from different organizations and countries
