= Background =

The University of Hohenheim has been carrying out research on solar cooling for the last 5 years. A [[Solar Milk Cooling with Insulated Milk Cans|Solar Milk Cooling with Insulated Milk Cans]] has been developed and applied for milk cooling. Up to now, 18 Systems have been successfully assessed together with local partners in [[Hohenheim Milk Cooling System - Implementation in Tunisia|Tunisia]], [[Hohenheim Milk Cooling System - Implementation in Kenya|Kenya]] and [[Hohenheim Milk Cooling System - Implementation in Colombia|Colombia]] showing its technical feasibility. Since 2017, the economic feasibility is under study in cooperation with partners of the private sector and in synergy to several on-going public initiatives.

The workshop about the [[Do It Yourself - Solar Cooling Units|Do It Yourself - Solar Cooling Units]] aims to bring together local companies, entrepreneurs and students and train them to design, produce and pilot small and medium scale solar cooling systems.

Thanks to the use of solar cooling units, participants learn to customize own systems, that fullfil the requirements of final users. The workshop delivers training to design, produce and assemble your products based on [[Do It Yourself - Solar Cooling Units|3 hands-on example systems]].
