17 Renewable Energy Education in Egypt 18 state universities 18 private universities Military technical college and institutes Most state universities include Engineering Schools: Cairo, Alexandria, Assiut Univ., Helwan, Ain Shams, German, Japanese, etc Universities. Renewable energy is addressed in Mechanical and Electrical Departments as well as physics Dept at school of Science- Agriculture Ongoing Renewable Energy programs: Cairo, assuit, Alexandria, Shoubra, British, Japanese, Heliopolis, Ain Shams, Helwan(mataria).. etc.

18 Under graduate curriculum- Renewable energy basics and applications elective courses. Graduation projects in Solar Energy systems and applications. MSc./PhD Thesis on solar Energy Utilization (solar thermal and solar electrical technologies, e.g on: SWH, CSP, storage, solar cooling, PV, Hybrid, etc.). Graduate Diploma degree in RE (CU) Master in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (REMENA-CU)

19 Masters Degree Program (M.Sc) Renewable Energy and Energy efficiency for MENA Countries Objective: To educate experts in the field of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency who are high on demand for leading positions in the energy sector and are able to manage complex projects for international institutions and companies operating in the Arabic region.

Electronics Engineering, German University in Cairo GUC REMENA Masters Program 2014 Certified ReGrid Manager CRGM (RENAC), Berlin to date Research Assistant at IdE Institute Decentralized Energy Technologies (IdE) My Master thesis focused on Simulation of a Region Operating at 100% Renewable Energy The decentralization of energy supply is one of the main focal areas of research of IdE Institute Decentralized Energy Systems in Kassel, Germany Main Projects I am involved in through my current position : Master plan county Osnabrück Heating & Electricity Regional Synergies BioPower2Gas

30 Cairo University GAMP Strategic Network Meeting Cairo

31 DESERTEC University Network(DUN) Academic research and innovation network Bringing together public and private scientific, technological, research, development and academic institutions interested in and capable of contributing to the implementation of the DESERTEC Concept. Promoting the development of human resources training, education, and R & D for the industrial production of equipment/related services (DESERETEC) 31 Members(MENA/EU)

32 Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) Think Tank (RE-policies & instruments Regional cooperation & Cross-regional Cooperation) Management of Regional R&D&D Programs for RE RCREEE RE-Training Courses & post-graduate RE-education RE-Information Services Testing & Certification

33 RCREEE 16 member States:

34 Conclusions Many on going initiatives, projects, programs and activities in RE Need to integrate Research efforts and prioriterize research efforts Need efficient Networking and Synergy Need intensive cooperation with EU institutes in R&D Need multiplication of Educational programs in RE and link education with research.
