Second Africa-EU Renewable Energy Research & Innovation Symposium (RERIS) 2018
About RERIS
With more than 600 million Africans living without access to electricity and over 730 million relying on dangerous, inefficient forms of cooking, fast but sustainable development of African renewable energy markets is needed. Applied research and innovative business roll-outs play a key role in boosting this development, helping to secure energy supply in both rural and urban areas, increase generation capacities and energy system resilience.
With the aim to foster research cooperation on renewable energy – both between universities in Africa and Europe and between academia, private and public sector - the Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP) organizes the second Africa-EU Symposium on Renewable Energy Research and Innovation (RERIS 2018) on occasion of NULSTICE 2018. Aiming to facilitate Africa-EU research collaboration, private and public sector participation in research, business innovation and university spin-offs, the symposium will address the following thematic areas:
- Power generation
- Decentralised and household energy solutions
- Energy socioeconomics
- Promotion of energy research, innovation, education and entrepreneurship
About NULISTICE
This 2018 National University of Lesotho International Science and Technology Innovation Conference & Expo (NULISTICE-2018) is meant to provide an opportunity to turn ideas into action. It is expected that the attending scholars from all over the world will share their basic research findings, lessons in university-industry cooperation, successes and failures in commercialization and policy recommendations in any of the areas mentioned above. NULISTICE-2018 and the parallel events combined together are going to be bigger in scope and wider in reach. While the previous events were just one day expos and workshops, this 2018 event will combine together an International Conference & Expo, student’s competitions (proposed Vodacom-NUL Hackathon), Gala Dinner and a Daytrip for the international visitors.
It is meant to be a convergence of international scholars from many areas of Science and Technology with the theme, “Resource Mobilization and Entrepreneurship Action for Development.” The main areas include:
- Renewable Energy,
- Biotechnology,
- Environment and Natural Resources Management,
- Food and Water Safety,
- Climate Change Challenges and Mitigation Strategies,
- Agriculture and Food Security,
- Material Science and Nano-Technology,
- Entrepreneurship and Technology,
- Information and Communication Technology.
