Fundación IBERDROLA Scholarships

Overview

The IBERDROLA Group is looking to enhance its contribution to improving the quality of life of
people living in the areas and countries where it operates. With this aim, a new social project has
been established which seeks to respond to the fundamental needs of society, utilising the business strengths and capabilities of IBERDROLA.

Our society is currently facing unprecedented challenges, resulting from wide-ranging economic
and non-economic crisis and the associated consequences. Among them is the urgent need to address environmental damage and climate change, which more than ever, demands a change in
our economic models and, specifically, the energy model. It is assumed that the transformation of these models will require skilled leaders and professionals with the highest level of training. As such, one of the Fundación IBERDROLA’s main areas of activity is the creation and sharing of knowledge for development and progress towards a sustainable energy model. In doing so, the Fundación aims to effectively meet the energy needs of people
while protecting the environment.

To this end, the Fundación IBERDROLA presents its Second Call for Scholarships for Masters Studies in Energy and Environment. The scholarship programme will contribute to excellence in training in the field of energy, with a special focus on the development of renewable energies, environmental protection and climate change, as well as the efficiency of the energy system.


The Fundación IBERDROLA is announcing up to 25 scholarships for the academic year 2011-2012 for masters studies in the following areas of knowledge:

Renewable energies
Sustainable energy system
Environment and biodiversity
Clean carbon technologies, emissions management and carbon capture
Energy efficiency
Energy storage
