Innovations for a Sustainable Future!

On November 21, 2024, the DAAD Regional Office Cairo brings together leading scientists, policymakers, and young talents.

Be part of a shared vision for a greener future with Prof. Dr. Manfred Fischedick and Dr. Amr Sobhy.

 

There are a lot of innovations that are shaping the renewable energy sector. New energy technologies are becoming increasingly popular, creating better awareness around shifting to cleaner solutions, like green energy technologies. Many industries are implementing changes and focusing on creating more sustainable solutions, from renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power to energy storage, electric vehicles, innovative heat pumps, hydrogen technologiessmart electricity grids and more alternatives for coal, oil and gas.

The DAAD Regional Office in Cairo would therefore like to shed light on the current developments in this urgent topic. The event serves to give an insight into possible future ways of application of this new technology as well as to display the challenges that go along with it. Furthermore, it aims to promote the German research landscape and to offer a platform for international cooperation through an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach by inviting high-ranked speakers from Germany and Egypt in related disciplines who will provide insightful lectures on the topic as well as their professional involvement in it.
