Quality in higher education for renewable energies in Western and Northern Africa (AFREQEN)

This project targeted six countries (Algeria, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia), and consisted first of all in identifying skills needs in the fields of quality and metrology among economic operators in the energy sector. It was then a question of confirming the skills, developing training modules and finally identifying and characterizing the quality approaches of academic partners from the South on the training processes and transfer of research results.

The main objective of the project was to help promote renewable energies, improve access to energy, energy efficiency, and preserve the environment in Northern and Western Africa.

 

More specifically, the project aimed to:

- Strengthen the capacities of professionals working in the field of renewable energies and the environment by taking into account the quality approach and the metrological process;

- Improve the networking of higher education establishments and research institutes between the partner countries and the Member States of the European Union.
