IESA's International Center of Energy and Environment
Since its foundation in 2005, the International Center of Energy and Environment (in Spanish Centro Internacional de Energía y Ambiente - CIEA), is dedicated to topics referring to the energy and environmental sectors.
CIEA develops a series of activities in various inter-related areas: Research, training in postgraduate and business development courses, as well as dissemination (publications and events), aimed at promoting the discussion of energy- and environment-related issues, supporting the decision-making process and drafting of public policies, as well as the training of business leaders for the oil industry.
As an oil-producing nation, Venezuela must promote the optimum development of the abundant energy resources it possesses and direct them towards generating progress and new domestic capabilities through establishing links with other sectors of the economy and adding value, always bearing in mind the environmental impact generated during this process.
CIEA was created in 2005 to establish IESA as the benchmark institution regionwide for the reflection, generation and dissemination of knowledge in energy and environmental-related issues, as well as in the training of managers capable of becoming leaders in the energy sector.
The main purpose of IESA's International Center on Energy and Environment (CIEA) is to contribute to the creation and development of activities and initiatives for the training of human capital and the generation of knowledge capable of generating value for the sectors linked to energy and the environment, being a national, regional and international benchmark.
