Proficiency Badges for Energy and Resource System Modelling

This concept note aims to establish a standardised certification system that benchmarks modelling proficiency in energy and resource system modelling tools - initially OSeMOSYS and CLEWs but with plans to incorporate other tools too -  through a tiered badge system: Bronze, Silver & Gold that signifies modelling competency. An additional two-levelled ‘Instructor’ badge is also included to denote capacity building and trainer competence. Initially, this system will  be deployed in a  CCG/RE-INTEGRATE context - with a longer term aim of the badge system to become relevant for practitioners beyond these organisations.
