INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OF CAMBODIA AND FINLAND FUTURES RESEARCH CENTRE (ICI-CAMBODIA)

Research summary

The ICI-CAMBODIA project aimed to increase the capacity and substance knowledge of local teaching and researcher staff at ITC in the field of renewable energy education and energy efficiency. The university level education in renewable energy in Cambodia is lacking human and equipment resources, yet the capacity of ITC, the leading university providing such education, is inadequate to respond to the national needs. The project objective was to support a new group of local experts to promote social and environmental sustainability and climate change mitigation in national energy
planning.

Description

The capacity building project has succeeded in providing improved knowledge for future energy experts on sustainable development and renewable energy in poverty alleviation in Cambodia.
