Work shadowing

General Information

Through the Work Shadowing, energy agencies and public authorities interested in establishing an energy agency will be able to visit experienced agencies from different parts of Europe for 2 days to gain insights into their operation and structures.

The Work Shadowing complements the learnings of Expert Missions and Master Classes. Whereas Master Classes and Expert Missions focus focus on financing, technical aspects, and regulatory frameworks, the Work Shadowing scheme is centred on the internal organisation of agencies and project delivery methods. The programme supports peer learning, knowledge exchange, and the transfer of good practices, helping agencies develop innovative services and more efficient ways of working.

Who can apply?

  • Local and regional energy agencies
  • Public authorities interested in establishing an energy agency

A minimum of 40 participants from across Europe will be selected.

Who are the hosts?

The hosts are leading energy agencies from different parts of Europe, each with unique mandates and service portfolios. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with experienced professionals, explore innovative approaches, and expand their network.

How does it work?

Selected participants will be matched with a host agency based on their needs and interests, as well as the expertise of the hosts. Groups of 1-7 participants will visit their host agency for two days. The visits will be highly interactive and may include:

  • Shadowing key staff
  • Site visits
  • Interactive group work
  • Presentations for the host agency

A 2-hour online preparatory meeting will be organised prior to the onsite event to develop a deeper understanding of interests and expected outcomes.

A 2-hour online preparatory meeting will be organised before the onsite visit to align expectations and objectives. The visits will be facilitated by a dedicated Work Shadowing Facilitator.

Financial support of up to €550 is available to cover travel and accommodation costs.
