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

  • Head of research Jyrki Luukkanen
  • Language n/a

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.

  • Head of research Jyrki Luukkanen
  • Language n/a

The DREAM project aimed to (i) develop multi-disciplinary methodology to analyse renewable energy projects design, implementation, finance and influence on communities; (ii) build up knowledge on the various positive and negative impacts the renewable energy projects have especially at the village level; (iii) improve understanding of qualifications, such as success factors and reasons for failures, of renewable energy projects and; (iv) identify concrete means to increase long-term sustainability of donor-driven energy projects.
