“Offshore wind energy: management, investment preparation and implementation” – is a newly opened postgraduate course developed jointly by PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Warsaw’s Lazarski University. On Saturday, 15 October this year, the official inauguration of the studies took place.
– I am delighted that we can begin the first semester of the first postgraduate studies in Poland devoted entirely to the process of managing the preparation and implementation of offshore wind farm investments. The emerging offshore wind sector in Poland needs and will continue to need highly qualified specialists. That is why we are investing in the preparation of personnel who will power the Polish offshore wind energy sector in the near future,’ said Wojciech Dąbrowski, President of the Management Board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna. – I would like to thank the PGE Group employees and the university authorities for bringing our joint initiative to fruition.
