The pilot program gave schools full flexibility to take initiatives and set their timetable in synergy with students’ interests and talents, connecting them with business and society. ]]> http://geforcee.geblogs.com/ring-the-bell/feed/ 1 http://geforcee.geblogs.com/accelerating-like-an-airplane/ http://geforcee.geblogs.com/accelerating-like-an-airplane/#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 08:02:20 +0000 Carmen Georgeta Neagu http://geforcee.geblogs.com/?p=16741 aeroderivative” gas turbine technology which results in an unmatched combination of speed, reliability and efficiency.  Being the result of imagination at work and based on a well-kown track record of life-changing innovations, the aeroderivative technology builds flexible and efficient natural-gas power plants, allowing them to quickly increase or decrease their electricity generation to compensate for variations in wind or solar power, making it easier to use intermittent sources of renewable energy. An aeroderivative gas turbine like the FlexAero LM6000 - assembled at the GE Energy plant in Veresegyház, Hungary - can generate enough electricity for a town with as many as 50,000 homes and it can get from cold iron to 50 megawatts in just 10 minutes. ]]> http://geforcee.geblogs.com/accelerating-like-an-airplane/feed/ 0 http://geforcee.geblogs.com/is-low-carbon-a-blessing-for-cee/ http://geforcee.geblogs.com/is-low-carbon-a-blessing-for-cee/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 06:38:04 +0000 Eszter Szabó http://geforcee.geblogs.com/?p=16892 Guest post by Christian Egenhofer, Associate Senior Research Fellow and head of the Energy and Climate Program, Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Brussels

Poorer eastern EU member states are privileged when it comes to low-carbon transition but the window of opportunity is closing fast. While the transition to a low-carbon economy is all about technology, it is ultimately government policy that matters. Nowhere is this truer than in the poorer member states in Central and Eastern Europe. Contrary to what we think, Central and Eastern European EU member states are in a privileged position, but only if they seize their opportunities.

Let me share with you some great news from the Czech GE Aviation regarding our activities in the Russian market. Sokol JSC, a leading service provider known throughout the Russian Federation, has signed an agreement with GE Aviation to become an Authorized Service Center (ASC) for GE’s M601 and H80 turboprop aircraft engines. The agrement allows our business to extend its services to Russia and to get even more support in the CIS region.

The 2012 Trust Barometer prepared by Edelman provides an update on trust and distrust in different public institutions. The research was conducted among 25 countries around the world and, put very simply, distrust and skepticism are growing globally, particularly as exhibited by a record nine point drop in trust for government leaders, however for regular employees we see a spectacular rise. ]]> http://geforcee.geblogs.com/navigating-trust-in-a-complex-world/feed/ 1 http://geforcee.geblogs.com/meet-ge-people-carmen-neagu/ http://geforcee.geblogs.com/meet-ge-people-carmen-neagu/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 07:30:30 +0000 GE for CEE http://geforcee.geblogs.com/?p=16837 Carmen Neagu, GE Energy Region Executive for South East Europe, is part of an exclusive small group of women in an executive position in the energy industry, a domain usually managed by men. ]]> http://geforcee.geblogs.com/meet-ge-people-carmen-neagu/feed/ 9 http://geforcee.geblogs.com/button-in-budapest/ http://geforcee.geblogs.com/button-in-budapest/#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 12:31:01 +0000 GE for CEE http://geforcee.geblogs.com/?p=16830 Grand Prix in Budapest on July 29 has begun, it’s only 87 days until the only Formula One race in CEE.
