PROJECT DURATION

1st of February 2017 - 31st of January 2020


ABSTRACT

The overall objective of this project is a transfer of knowledge, technologies
and socio‐economic competence urgently needed in Gaza. The intended partnership
will set up training courses at IUG, based on maker‐type organised practical
courses where students create own projects in renewable energy technologies. The
partnership will provide the possibility for researchers from Gaza to gather
personal experience in Austria as well as vice versa and develop strategies to
promote studying renewable energy engineering in Gaza. The specific experiences
at BOKU with organisation of practical courses in renewable energy engineering
based on maker movement (e.g. 3D printing), is expected to be a valuable asset
for this cooperation. Maker-based education is a novel way to build
self-designed laboratory tools on reasonable costs to perform tests with new
methods and technologies. A speciality of the cooperation will be a
collaboration between experts from technical and socio-economic disciplines as
well as from teaching experts in order to get to a comprehensive view on
structural development issues. The partners from IUG are well aware of the
actual, local situation. The labour force participation rate in the Gaza Strip
is 45.5%. The gap in the participation rate between males and females in
Palestine considered very big; it reached 71.7% for males compared with 18.8%
for females. At the university, in the Faculty of Engineering, practical skills
has limited interest due to the limited resources and laboratories. Renewable
energy, especially solar, is needed to reach the national strategy goal to build
up additional electrical power of 120MW. This leads to the key objectives of the
partnership: Analysis of the technical and economic boundary of renewable energy
sources. Building research and teaching capacities on renewable energy at IUG to
be transferred to students, companies and communities. Promotion of female
student to start a technical study as well as support during the study.
Development of a laboratory at IUG for renewable energy research and teaching.
Setting up and improving training courses and research facilities at BOKU and
IUG. Building up a basis to create green jobs. Building a network between the
partner institutions as well as related institutions. This project will
contribute to achieve the goals of the national strategies to use renewable
energy sources as an alternative to the traditional sources to solve the energy
crisis in Palestine and in particular in the Gaza Strip and to save the
environment. Moreover, a significant contribution to the economy by green jobs
can be expected based on experience in middle Europe. To achieve the aim of the
project, a powerful and multidisciplinary team of researchers from Gaza and
Austria has been established.
