We start on the 28th in Brussel where Jan Rebrina gives an introduction about how the European Parliament works. This is followed by words of Mikuláš Peksa, who is a  member of the European Parliament. He will elaborate on the European energy policy and the influence of Brexit. We finish day one in Paris with the expertise of the International Energy Agency, who will share insights about the influence of COVID-19 on the energy policy.

On day two, we move to The Hague for a mini-workshop from Clingendael about the lobbying process in the European Parliament. This is followed by a presentation of Hydrogen Europe, who will share their experiences on how to represent the European industry and how to positively influence policies around hydrogen.
