Furthermore, we wish to further engage with Student Energy and plan for the upcoming UNFCCC COP 28 in UAE.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-9eb0ce2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="9eb0ce2" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://yp.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/SES_apply-1024x1024.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-3619" alt="" srcset="https://yp.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/SES_apply-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://yp.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/SES_apply-300x300.png 300w, https://yp.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/SES_apply-150x150.png 150w, https://yp.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/SES_apply-768x768.png 768w, https://yp.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/SES_apply.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e8dd902 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="e8dd902" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d8f7055" data-id="d8f7055" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-c5746d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="c5746d6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Partnering with and supporting the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Innovation Week</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-28b99c6 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider" data-id="28b99c6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="divider.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-divider"> <span class="elementor-divider-separator"> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-9c7afee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="9c7afee" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>IRENA Innovation Week brings together leaders, experts, industry representatives, academics and policymakers to discuss cutting-edge innovations that can support and accelerate the global energy transition.
