From November 6-11, 2022, the American University in Cairo (AUC) hosted a winter school titled “The Hope of Technological Solutions for an Economical Energy Crisis.” The event welcomed 52 participants from prominent Egyptian and German institutions, including AUC, the British University in Egypt (BUE), the University of Cologne, and others.

Funded by the DAAD under the “Building a Sustainable Energy Future” (BaSEF) project, the winter school addressed urgent climate action and innovative energy solutions, aligning with Egypt Vision 2030. Fourteen expert speakers guided sessions on advancing sustainable energy, preparing junior researchers to contribute to renewable energy, resilience, and climate mitigation efforts.
