Erneuerbare Energie und Energieeffizienz für den Nahen Osten und Nordafrika

The Programme is directed to young professionals with work experience and a high motivation to contribute to introducing a sustainable energy supply and to the development in the Arab region in general, which includes a keen interest in the other culture and language.

Sustainable energy supply will remain the most crucial challenge of the Arab region for the coming decades. For bilateral projects, there is a need for energy experts being familiar with the culture, language and politics of both sides. The objective of the Master Programme is to train more and better qualified people to help implement standards in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency – RE&EE – in the energy sector as one of the main priorities of German-Arab bilateral co-operation programmes.

The programme is run by two Universities – the University of Kassel and the Cairo University – in cooperation with institutions and companies in the renewable energy and energy efficiency (RE&EE) sector. Both universities bring to the programme profound expertise in research and development and capacity building in the field of RE&EE.
