AERAP workshop on “Renewable Energy Solutions for Radio Astronomy: Opportunities for African-European cooperation” - 09-10-2012

General Info

Start date:2012-10-09

End date:

The 9 October AERAP workshop will explore the possibilities for African and European researchers to work jointly on renewable energy solutions for radio astronomy projects like the Square Kilometre Array Project. These research facilities have to be provided with cost-efficient power generation, independent from the global fuel market. In order to meet this energy challenge the workshop will provide opportunities for renewable energy experts and the radio astronomy community to develop ideas and find suitable funding instruments for their cooperation. Presentations are now available in the "Downloads" section.
