International Summer School in Solar Technology Applications for Rural Development, Germany

/ March 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Solar technologies are extremely promising with ever-increasing output efficiency and the capability to be used in almost any location. Decreasing availability of fossil fuels quickens the need for solar technology, which is driving current developments. Solar systems are also relatively affordable and applicable to both homes and villages. Many projects capitalizing on solar power have already been implemented in developing countries, and serve as encouraging results for many more to come.

Considering the importance of solar technologies the Centre for Renewable Energy at the University of Freiburg in collaboration with the DAAD is organizing a week long course on solar technologies for rural electrification and enhancement of living standards in the developing countries. Solar Shift is intended for professionals from developing countries who have previously studied or worked in Germany. Applicants should be working in the renewable energy sector; which may include Engineering, Financing, Policy, etc. The programme will consist of lectures, workshops, group work and discussions, excursions, and social and networking activities.

PhD Scholarship in Development of Novel Pavement, DTU, Denmark: Civil Engineering

/ March 23, 2011 Leave a Comment

The PhD scholarship is integrated in a project called “COOEE – CO2 emission reduction by exploitation of rolling resistance modelling of pavements”. The transport sector contributes with more than 20% of the total emission of CO2 and therefore there is a huge potential in even small reductions of the energy consumption of cars. Reducing the rolling resistance is one of the ways to reduce emissions. The COOEE project will attack the challenge from various angles: development of advanced models for deterioration and aging of pavements, development of new devices for measuring rolling resistance on the road network and development of novel pavement that is optimized with respect to rolling resistance. All these disciplines will be integrated in the road asset management system of the Danish Road Directorate.

Qualifications
Candidates must hold a master degree in civil engineering –with a specialization relevant to the project in question – or similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree. Preferably the candidate has an academic track record and previous research experience.

Scholarship Application Deadline:10 April 2011
