The European Centre of Technology (ECT) is a Professional Body created in 1975 and its focus is engineering, marketing and finance education and upskilling in order to create a workforce capable of promoting and supporting engineering topics including energy, efficiency and renewable energy[1][2]
The European Centre of Technology (ECT), along with the European Energy Centre (EEC) work with the United Nations Environment Programme[3][4] (UNEP)[5] the Intergovernmental International Institute of Refrigeration[6] and Centro Studi Galileo,[7] along with major Universities such as Edinburgh Napier University and Heriot-Watt University in promoting marketing and financial topics to engineers across the United Kingdom and Europe in general.
The European Centre of Technology (ECT) is also active European-wide in upskilling Energy Engineers[8] with conferences in engineering, renewable energy, marketing and finance, see the 14th European Conference at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.[9]
The training activities of the European Centre of Technology (ECT) and Centro Studi Galileo (CSG) are also welcomed and shared through their partners.[10][11]
The European Centre of Technology (ECT) is also active in India through the European Energy Centre (EEC) with training courses and conferences[12] with its Indian Partner TERRE Policy Centre.
