The LAUNCH Education Progamme
About
The LAUNCH Education Programme is a learning journey developed by the project partners with the objective of improving the knowledge and understanding of project developers of key financial and commercial topics. The programme will be developed in three modules, based on the material that is being designed throughout the LAUNCH project.
This journey is part of the LAUNCH Pilot Programme where companies active in the sustainable energy projects market can test and provide feedback on the LAUNCH material.
