Transforming the global energy system is essential for climate protection and resource conservation—and it’s a core arena of foreign policy and diplomacy. Germany, a long-standing pioneer of the Energiewende, plays a key role.

This involves designing high-level dialogue formats and communication campaigns, structuring complex technical topics, and building international networks across government, media, and civil society.

- Dialogue & Events: Co-design and organize dialogue events and exhibition formats with German missions on the global energy transition.
- Fellowship Programme: Help organize and implement a fellowship for international journalists focusing on the energy transition.
- Policy Research: Research, analyze, and prepare briefs on international energy policy and energy foreign policy trends.
- Public Diplomacy Content: Draft information materials for external communication on the global energy transition and hydrogen diplomacy (for/with the AA).
