National Contact Points, also referred to as NCP’s, are a dedicated network established to facilitate the U4energy competition at national level. The NCP in your country is your main contact point for all communication and support related to the competition. They assist the U4energy coordination team by promoting the competition at national level. In addition, they moderate entries that are submitted to the competition and are also responsible for the set-up of national juries. National Contact Points encourage school participation, provide technical support and answer questions related to the competition. If you have any questions or concerns you would like to address in your native language, please do not hesitate to contact your NCP – they will be pleased to help you!
