Katherine Mahoney and Pedro Palma partipated in ENGAGER's Training School 2, a virtual event conducted online between the 26-30 April 2021 at five hubs across Europe. The ENGAGER TS2 addressed the challenge of mainstreaming innovative energy poverty (EP) metrics, covering complementary aspects of the overarching theme: digitisation, composite indices, transport energy poverty, cooling and hidden energy poverty, all in relation to impact at scale. It built on Training School 1 on mobilising data for energy poverty research and action, held during June 2019. Each hub anchored one day of the training school on five focus areas within the theme:

26 April: EP metrology and digitisation for low-carbon energy infrastructure (Norway)
27 April: Composite EP indicators and popularising innovative datasets (UK)
28 April: Measuring transport energy poverty and impact on wellbeing (Germany)
29 April: Mainstreaming EP metrics into NECPs including cooling (Portugal)
30 April: EP indicators, policy impact and hidden energy poverty (Spain)

Pedro was integrated into the UK hub, whereas Katherine was part of the German one. For each day and hub, there were presentations by experts, exercises, and the group of students of each hub also gave a presentation and wrote a report on the respective topic.
