Project Summary

The reason of this project is to tackle the lack in South-Mediterranean countries of Engineers that are well trained in Wind Engineering “WE”. This lack of Engineers with multidisciplinary knowledge of Wind Technologies hinders the potential of Wind as a source of reliable, cost-effective and pollution-free source of energy in those countries: The key to development of WE companies in those countries is the capacity to acquire technically qualified manpower of international standard. This would certainly create job opportunities for graduates in Engineering, which is very relevant for the countries selected (Egypt and Tunisia).At the conclusion of the project on-line training materials would be produced in the two languages used for Engineering education in South-Mediterranean countries (English and French), that would be openly distributed and promoted to be used as part of existing Masters in Engineering subjects. In addition 10 academics of Egyptian and Tunisian Engineering Schools would be trained in Europe on real-life Wind Engineering aspects and the use of those on-line training materials for Master courses. Moreover, thanks to links with WE companies, 10 Master students from those countries would be offered the opportunity to carry out internships in EU WE companies.
