IEA-ETSAP meets twice a year for a two days’ workshop and an Executive Committee meeting. At these meetings the IEA-ETSAP community members exchange experiences, discuss ways to improve the tools and manage the common activities. Local experts are invited to these meetings so that they are exposed to the methodology and can interact with the IEA-ETSAP participants from their country. These meetings often lead to collaborative model building projects with local and third party funds.
