This
project main objective is to increase public awareness and utilization of
renewables, promote for energy saving and management, as well as develop new
research areas in those fields. Based on surveys and questionnaires from
previous projects Clean Energy and Research in Environmental Studies
(CERES)(517401-TEMPUS-1-2011-1-ESTEMPUS-JPCR) and Master on Sustainable development
and Renewable energy (MANSUR) (511069-TEMPUS-1-2010-1-IT-TEMPUS-JPCR), a solid
conclusion for the establishment and developing a training course and a master
program was evident. The project will have a broad scope of goals which targets
academic, industrial and civilian sectors, and the consortium partners. On the
academic level, 4 universities from EU, namely: SU, UNIOVI, IST and UCY
Universities and along with 4 Universities, namely: AAST, ASU, HU, NU and 3
Jordanian Universities: University of Jordan, Mutah university and JUST are to
work on the preparation of the new MSc degree and training program. Being
supported by Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) in UK, KTP will help
spreading the business and technical skills to academia and at the same time
enhance research opportunities thus bridging between universities and industry.
On the industrial level, ALEXSEEDS is a leading company specialized in a
variety of food products in Egypt. Their main contribution to the consortium
will be through providing a good case study and a real-life feedback experience
in the field of energy and cost saving, energy consumption as well as process
efficiency enhancement. They will be sharing and contributing through surveys
from an industrial point of view. Another main contributor to the consortium is
EURO Training through enhancing the organizational effectiveness of the
project. Being officially experienced in the area of management and quality
