SOLTRAIN+ Conference taking place during the 2024 SADC Sustainable Energy Week from 24 to 28 February 2025, Gaborone, Botswana
The Namibia Energy Institute (NEI) is pleased to invite students enrolled in Master’s and PhD programmes to apply for bursaries in the field of renewable heating and cooling, with a particular focus on solar thermal energy. This opportunity is available through the Southern African Renewable Heating and Cooling Training and Demonstration Initiative (SOLTRAIN+) project. The SOLTRAIN+ project is a regional initiative and a logical extension of the previous SOLTRAIN project. Funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), the project has been implemented through six SADC partners, with NUST-NEI serving as Namibia's implementing partner since the project’s inception in 2009.
