This course introduced methods and concepts for successfully implementing medium to large-scale RE projects, from the initial idea to full operation. The course covered the planning and organisation of complex RE projects, the tools to perform the economic analysis and the primary technical and non-technical risks that affect them directly. Schemes to organize sufficient project financing, assessing market conditions, and identifying market barriers including the use of public support, were another focus of the training.

RE projects need careful financial planning and control to be successful. Financial management tasks are consequently an integral part of all project phases' appraisal. The course's focus was on the analysis of project attractiveness and the assessment of whether a project should be undertaken at all, and if so, under what circumstances and conditions.

Looked into project completion, how project stakeholders must assure that project returns are sufficiently high for the planned profitability to materialize. And lastly, the management and cost accounting tasks as essential tools in the operation mode.
