Key programme highlights include: inspiring seminars delivered by international experts in energy and sustainability; access to tools and frameworks for designing and implementing climate and energy projects; a supportive global network of like‑minded students and young professionals; and a platform that helps participants move from theory to practice. The programme also emphasises personal and professional growth, with opportunities to strengthen leadership, collaboration and problem‑solving skills.
ESP 2026 is open to a diverse group of applicants who share an interest in energy, sustainability and climate action. Target participants include students in relevant fields, young professionals seeking deeper understanding and practical experience, and individuals motivated by purpose, curiosity and social impact who are eager to collaborate within a global, multidisciplinary community.
The programme structure typically encompasses four main components:
- Seminars on energy systems, sustainability trends and climate strategies, led by international experts.
- Practical learning using tools and methods to develop and refine participants’ own energy and climate projects.

- Personal development aimed at building confidence, leadership and purpose‑driven action.
ESP 2026 runs as a cohort during the 2026 cycle, with the programme scheduled to start on 11 February 2026. The exact delivery mode (online or hybrid) is not fully detailed in the announcement, but the design supports broad international participation through digital engagement and collaboration.
