The first session of Working Group 15 of the NK EU, in the new convocation, was held on February 29, 2024. The BFPE Foundation coordinates the work of Working Group 15 of the EU National Convention dealing with energy and in 2024 plans to be even more active in issues of energy and sustainable development.
