The European Centre of Technology (ECT), along with the European Energy Centre (EEC) work with the United Nations Environment Programme[5][6] (UNEP)[7] the Intergovernmental International Institute of Refrigeration[8] and Centro Studi Galileo,[9] along with major Universities such as Edinburgh Napier University and Heriot-Watt University in promoting marketing and financial topics to engineers across the United Kingdom and Europe in general.
The European Centre of Technology (ECT) is also active European-wide in upskilling Energy Engineers[10] with conferences in engineering, renewable energy, marketing and finance, see the 14th European Conference at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.[11]
The training activities of the European Centre of Technology (ECT) and Centro Studi Galileo (CSG) are also welcomed and shared through their partners.[12][13]
