Once EWI, always EWI
Former members of the Institute of Energy Economics have been organised in an association to support the Institute's development for more than 40 years. Since 2010 the association is called 'EWI Alumni – Verein der Absolventen und Freunde des Energiewirtschaftlichen Instituts an der Universität zu Köln e.V.'.
In accordance with its articles of association, EWI Alumni has the goal of promoting the exchange of experience between scientific research and practice. EWI Alumni offers its current 380 members five events a year to educate themselves further in energy economics, and of course, also to socialise and maintain contact with one another.
Each year, the EWI Alumni Association organises a specialist workshop for its members. Each workshop offers talks, either by external experts, EWI alumni members of EWI researchers. The last workshop, dated May 22nd, 2013, dealt with "Trendstudie Strom 2022 - ein Belastungstest für die Energiewende".
Every year in May the association offers an excursion on energy economics. In June 2013 the excursion is going to Kempten, Allgäu. In 2011 the EWI Alumni delegates travelled to Groningen and obtained information on the subject of natural gas. Read more about the trips.
There is an EWI alumni round table in Cologne in spring and late summer. The most recent round table met in Cologne on Tuesday, Febuary 5th, 2013.
The annual general meeting of EWI is always held in November in Cologne (the last time on November 23, 2012).
The association offers two different types of membership. You may be admitted as an ordinary member, if you wrote your thesis or dissertation at the Cologne University. Any interested party may be admitted as an extraordinary member on request, provided their membership is beneficial to the aims of the association.
