Who We Are?
Advanced Teaching and training on Smart grid & Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Systems
AT-SGIRES, is an ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME Project Number: 585648-EPP-1-2017-1-UK-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP, approved by the European Commission under grant agreement number 2012-3324/001-001. This project has been funded from the european commission
Renewable Energy (RE) is expected to be one of the main solutions for clean power supply and covering the shortage in the electrical power as the case of many countries in MENA like Syria, Jordan, Morocco, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt.
Smart Grids (SG) are expected to be a key enabler in the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the electrical networks. Better understanding of the SG concept enables faster and more sustainable development of the RE and SG market. However, this knowledge field is underrepresented in the existing technically overwhelmed teaching curricula at universities and hence, is considered a deficit that should be reduced. The importance of this project comes from tackling this problem by integrating the SG and the methods of integrating RES to electrical grid in RE teaching programmes offered at HEIs in beneficiary countries.

The training can be described with two words, magnificent experience. Renewable energy is the future of humanity, and teaching the youth about it is an important step in building this future, so thanks to AT-SGIRES I am now certain about what I will be doing for the rest of my life. The sessions were incredibly full of conceptual and practical skills, which qualifies the individuals with the needed experiences to contribute in this field.
