TEA-LP invites an Expression of Interest (EoI) from universities / HE institutions across Africa and South Asia/ Indo Pacific to join the Partnership through the uptake of one or more of three new courses on energy access into successfully operating postgraduate programme offerings. Twenty universities will be competitively selected to join the TEA-LP and to receive financial and technical support to adopt and adapt the new course/s into their own postgraduate programme offerings. An amount of between £10,000 and £20,000 per university is available to support the uptake of one to three of the new courses. In addition, virtual technical support, participation in an uptake workshop, and membership of the TEA-LP network. The contracting and course uptake will commence in January 2023. By December 2024, it is expected that at least one cohort of students will have completed the new course/s at the new partner institution. The three courses are:
- Course #1: Course #1: Local solutions for Energy Access
- Course #2: Mini-grids: Design and Operations
- Course #3: Solar appliances for Off-Grid Communities
The deadline for submission of Expression of Interest (EoI) online form is Monday 12 Sept 2022. They also require a signed letter of approval from the Dean of the Faculty (or institutional equivalent) to be sent to Ms Nomanesi Makhonco nomanesi.makhonco@uct.ac.za
