Expertise for Clean Energy RDI Projects

The Elizbar Eristavi Energy Training Center (ENTC) offers specialized services to support projects participating in the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership). Our unique expertise, honed through years of experience in energy and water sectors in Georgia, is designed to help you not only develop your RDI project but also ensure its successful implementation and societal impact.

Our services are tailored to address the key challenges and opportunities identified in the CETPartnership framework:

Public Awareness and Societal Engagement: Drawing on our core mission of raising public awareness, we help projects develop effective communication strategies to foster public understanding and acceptance. Our experience in organizing trainings, public lectures, and educational projects (as seen in our work on renewable energies, energy efficiency, and water resources) makes us a valuable partner for mitigating resistance and promoting local ownership.

Knowledge Transfer and Training: We facilitate the transfer of knowledge from your RDI project to key stakeholders, including industry professionals, public institutions, and the general public. We can help design and implement specialized training courses and programs to improve the professional qualifications of employees and other interested persons, ensuring your project's results are effectively disseminated and adopted.

Strategic Research and Policy Analysis: Our center is actively involved in fundamental research and policy analysis related to energy security and market dynamics. We can support your project in examining the institutional, infrastructural, legislative, and technological landscape, and help formulate strategies that align with national and regional energy plans. This strategic insight is crucial for linking your project's results with broader energy system strategies and roadmaps.

Networking and Synergies: While we are based in Georgia, our partnerships with international organizations (like Visegrad Fund, ERRA, UNICEF, etc.) and participation in joint research projects demonstrate our ability to connect with a broader network. We can help you leverage the CETPartnership network by facilitating connections with relevant experts and stakeholders, co-creating a joint understanding of challenges, and identifying partners for future calls.

By partnering with ENTC, your project will gain a dedicated collaborator focused on turning research and innovation into tangible, publicly-accepted, and sustainable solutions for the clean energy transition.
