On Monday in Benguerir, a partnership agreement in the area of renewable energy was signed by the Institute for Research in Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), Green Park Energy, and Offenburg University.

According to a news statement from IRESEN, the partnership convention aims to increase academic and scientific interactions between the three institutions in the field of renewable energy, within the scope of the “university-business” initiative.

The program intends to foster collaboration and synergy between the renewable energy and solar sectors in the two nations.

A summer school for about thirty Moroccan and German students will be held at the Green & Smart Building Park in Benguerir from May 8–12, 2023.

The goal of the summer school is to give participants a full education in building and energy efficiency through a rigorous schedule of theoretical and practical classes taught by authorities in the field.

Participants in the summer school program are taught the fundamentals of designing energy-efficient buildings, smart grid technology, integrating renewable energy sources into buildings and communities, storage, and sustainable transportation.

In order to integrate the efforts of the two nations, the partnership also comprises conducting cooperative research in the fields of sustainable building technology, renewable energies, energy efficiency, electromobility, and digitization.

In order to exchange academic knowledge, scientific discoveries, and employees from the three universities, the convention also entails the transfer of professors, researchers, and staff.

Students will be able to take part in supervised thesis mobility programs and internships thanks to the arrangement.

Dr. Mostafa Benzaazoua, Director of GEP, Dr. Samir Rachidi, Director General of IRESEN, and Stephan Trahasch, Director of the University, all signed the contract.
