A Post-graduate Program
INFORSE-Europe launched DIERET in 1999.  Each session includes about 25-35 students, and the sessions have been held in each year since 1999. (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009)

The 300 pages of digital course material include 450 illustrations in five modules: Why Renewables?; Solar Energy; Biomass Energy; Hydro Power; Wind Energy; Alternative Fuels for Transportation (New in 2006), and Annex Chapters: Organising and Policy Making, and Units.

There is a set of questions to which the students should answer after they have read the study material. The study course runs in electronic form without any paper except that on which the certificate will be issued by INFORSE Secretariat to graduates of the course.

Why to Attend?
Attending the course is an opportunity for member organisations to update their knowledge on the current state of renewable technology and their utilization. The course also helps NGO members use reliable arguments in campaigns and lobbying for sustainable energy development as well as in advising people on how to use renewables.

INFORSE-Europe is asking its member organisations to encourage their staff and members to take the DIERET course, which is offered for free.
