Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development 2022
May 30, 2022 - June 16, 2022
An ICTP Virtual Meeting
The Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development 2022 (#SDSummerSchool) will be held from 30th May to 16th June. Hosted by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), this is a fantastic opportunity to get free training, access to discussion forums, and coaching skills in models and tools for all of your energy planning needs.
There are six tracks listed below, each focusing on different tools. Note that you must complete the Open University course of your one desired track and obtain a certificate as part of your application to the Summer School (see this link to the courses and video instructions on how to enrol on a OU course). The tracks are developed with UNDESA, IAEA, UNDP, IRENA, The World Bank Group, GIZ, the OpTIMUS community of practice, several universities, and the Climate Compatible Growth (#CCG) program.
The Summer School is split into two parts:
(1) you will be trained to build on the skills you obtained from the Open University course;
(2) you will use your new skills to conduct analyses on country-specific case studies, with assistance being provided from trainers.
Please see programme overview at the bottom of this page.
Besides receiving the certificate of completion from the Open University Course, you will also receive an ICTP certificate on attendance and successful completion of the Summer School (obtained after attending the Summer School).
Tracks:
- OnSSET/The Global Electrification Platform
- Energy and Flexibility Modelling: OSeMOSYS & FlexTool
- Financial Analysis of Power Sector Projects using the FinPlan Model
- Energy demand assessment and scenarios: MAED and EBS tools
- Introduction to CLEWs
- Agent-based energy systems modelling: MUSE

Prerequisites: The prerequisites to be admitted to the Summer School are provided at the bottom of this page.
Computer & connection requirements: Note that participants will require a computer with stable internet access to participate in the training. It is recommended that participants have at least 8 GB of RAM and a relatively new computer. Nonetheless, specific tracks have additional computer requirements:
