Abstract

This article focuses on reviewing energy law education in Greece. It mirrors recent efforts in the US and UK to examine energy law education and, for example: how it is taught; who is teaching it; where it is being taught; and what content is given to the curriculum offered? More research is needed on energy law education as the energy sector becomes increasingly influential in modern society.
This article aims to complement the US and UK research and marks the continuation of the beginning of an EU wide exploration into the increased emergence of energy law education, the links between practitioners and academics and what “energy law” means in different jurisdictions.
