The Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Regional Dialogue Southeast Europe (FES SOE) is inviting all interested individuals, companies, NGOs, and/or consortiums (applicants) to apply for collaboration on producing “The Political Economy of Energy Transition in Southeast Europe 2020-2021” study.
The FES SOE recognizes the regional challenges and is committed to advancing a socio-ecological transformation, democratic consolidation, social and economic justice, and peace in the Southeast Europe (SEE) region. Therefore, this study aims to explore and eventually communicate the causes for the inaction and determent by decision-makers, private interests, and other structures from supporting an energy transition in SEE.
It also aims to identify political avenues and platforms that would be able to circumvent or overcome opposing factors and be likely to receive popular and/or political support for energy transition in the region. The term “political economy” is understood here as the interaction of political and economic processes within a society. “Energy transition” is understood as both phasing-out coal and phasing-in renewable energies.
Eligibility Criteria for Applicants
- An advanced degree in law, economics, business or other fields related to the tasks and objective of the study;
- A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience delivering consultancy projects in energy, environmental or climate matters, with international organizations and think tanks;
- A solid understanding of energy and climate landscape in the SEE region, in particular, WB;
- Proven critical and analytical skills;
- Experience in writing clear and concise reports and other deliverables;
- Ability to engage with different stakeholders across SEE;
- Strong presentation skills proving competency in conveying the objective of the study;
- Excellent command of English, and a SEE language(s), knowledge of German being an asset.
