In Celle, managers from all over the world are trained   on important issues like that. While most of the industrialized countries have al- ready adopted extensive environment legislation and energy supply concepts, they often lack experience with sustained resource management and renewable energy sources, such as bioenergy, solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy and geothermal energy. Hence, the Deutsche Management Akademie Nieder- sachsen (DMAN) offers manager training programmes and seminars dealing with technical and engineering questions, ecological topics and the economic advan- tages of renewable energies. In the seminars, various application options are presented and analyzed in the context of different projects and case studies. In ad- dition to the classroom training, the participants visit successfully implemented projects, institutions in the energy sector, and companies in Niedersachsen deal- ing with energy technologies. Like all DMAN qualifi- cation programmes, the seminars on renewable ener- gies cater to the specific interests and requirements of customers in the academy’s partner regions. After the seminar programmes, experienced DMAN experts can support the continued know-how transfer. On demand, they help the participants put their newly acquired knowledge into practice in their home coun- tries. Training and Consulting DMAN provides management training and consult- ing to international business and administration man- agers. Through the exchange of know-how and ex- perience, the academy facilitates effective business contacts and co-operations between companies in Germany, Middle and Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Founded in 1989 by the federal state of Niedersachsen and local business partners, DMAN has its headquarters in Celle castle and representations in Moscow and Shanghai. www.dman.de Photos: Regine Rabanus Energy Know-How Energy Research Center Niedersachsen www.efzn.de German Wind Energy Institute www.dewi.de ForWind—Center for Wind Energy Research www.forwind.de 3N Competence Center Renewable Primary Products www.3-n.info District Heating Research Institute www.fernwaerme.de State Authority for Min- ing, Energy and Geology www.lbeg.niedersachsen.de Federal Institute of Geo- sciences and Natural Resources www.bgr.bund.de Institute for Solar Energy Research www.isfh.de Institute for High Voltage Technology and Electric Power Systems www.htee.tu-bs.de Fraunhofer-Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films www.ist.fraunhofer.de/ Energy Process Engineering and Fuel Technology www.ievb.tu-clausthal.de Institute for Electrical Engineering www.iee.tu-clausthal.de Institute of Petroleum Engineering www.ite.tu-clausthal.de/ Clausthal Institute for En- vironmental Engineering www.cutec.de Research Association Energy Niedersachsen www.fven.de  The DMAN seminars cover a broad range of topics—from modern business management to industry-specific themes.
