Graduate Training 2023 in Tanzania

On behalf of the team of the A:RT-D Grids research project, Paderborn University (Germany), ECOLOG Institute Lüneburg (Germany), in partnership with the College of Engineering and Technology (CoET) of the University of Dar es Salaam invite you, with pleasure, to the 3rd Graduate Training (GT) for Sustainable Energy Development. This year’s GT will take place from August 7th to 11th, 2023 at the CoET of UDSM. This GT is organized by the A:RT-D Grids collaborators consisting of industrial and research partners from Africa and Europe. The A:RT-D Grids project focuses on international and interdisciplinary research to develop modern socio-technical systems to provide robust, intelligent, and decentralized power systems for rural communities in Africa.
