Intro
The world’s energy systems are changing. Renewable energy has
moved from a niche technology to its broad-scale adoption in many
countries. Policy makers face new technical, economic, and policy
challenges. Understanding this complex transformation is
essential for decision-making and ensuring smooth transitions to
a clean energy system.
The International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks
(INETTT - https://www.inettt.org) brings together think tanks
supporting energy transitions from around the world. It aims to
integrate the perspectives of its members to offer a more diverse
view of energy transitions, their drivers and impacts both
globally and comparatively between member countries. It offers
opportunities to exchange, share, and collaborate on research
topics, policy, and strategy, thereby strengthening joint and
individual impact, through exchange of lessons learned,
leveraging synergies, as well as institutional and thematic
skill-sharing supported through grants.
Under the auspices of Agora, the INETTT Secretariat is
responsible for the operation and development of the network. Its
success will rely upon energy experts as well as experts in
administration. Under the supervision of the Director of INETTT,
the Secretariat is looking for a
