ELES Company is also a partner in this project. Mag. Maša Repež Gril from ELES addressed the participants and presented the event programme, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Andrej Gubina from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering presented the purpose and objectives of the BioEnergyTrain project.

Master's study programmes "Biorefinery Engineering" and "Bioresource Value Chain Management", designed within the scope of the project, were presented by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Bauer from the University of Technology in Graz. The “Biorefinery Engineering" master's programme will be executed by the University of Technology in Graz (Austria), the "Bioresource Value Chain Management" will be executed by the University of Twente (Netherlands). The programmes aim to attract students from various European countries, and they emphasise the interdisciplinarity, research orientation and the focus on searching for innovative solutions. The objective of both programmes is to improve the collaboration with the industry, regional and international partners, thus ensuring a highly qualified and innovative labour force.

The BioEnergyTrain project (www.bioenergytrain.eu) connects 15 partners from six European countries with the aim to connect higher education institutions, research centres, professional associations and industry representatives, who are dealing with renewable energy sources (RES) and their integration into the energy systems of buildings, villages and regions. The objective of the project, incorporating Slovenian ELES and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, was to create and introduce new study programmes by emphasising renewable energy sources and ensuring highly qualified and innovative labour force in this area.
