It is addressed to regulators worldwide and to staff from energy companies sponsoring FSR, available places are allocated to anyone interested in the course. The 5-day course gives the opportunity to establish contacts between participants and instructors.

The Course Director of this session is Carlos Batlle (Comillas University). The Programme Coordinator is Ernesto Bonafé (FSR - RSCAS).
Structure The course will have the duration of 5 working days between 29th June and 1st July 2011. There will be a morning and an afternoon session, most of them consisting in a presentation focused on the main principles of a particular key issue of energy utilities regulation followed in most cases by a real case example analysis (in which participants will be asked to work in groups in some occasions).
Eligible Participants In principle everybody can apply to the Summer Course, but staff of energy regulatory institutions and sponsoring energy companies will of course get priority. We also try to restrict the number of participants from the same country or organization to increase the diversity of the group.
Fee The course fee is EUR 2800 and includes lunches at the EUI canteen, coffee breaks and one social dinner, but excludes accommodation. The penalty for cancelling the application is the full fee. By applying you therefore commit to pay the full fee, if you get selected.
