Training |
A capacity building and staff development programme in the field
of renewable energy will be developed. The main focus of the
activities will be on developing human resources and upgrading
skills and capacities in the field by providing exposure to
practical training, experiments and equipment. Actual training
will be offered on experiment and laboratory running, technical
assistance and counselling services which will be organized for
professors, researchers, students, engineers and technicians.
Partners will implement specific training in solar energy as its
participating laboratory has a long-standing expertise and
necessary infrastructure in this field. This will be beneficial
for capacity building in RE where training on different
photovoltaic technologies and procedures to do with solar energy
will be provided. Furthermore, the access to information, skills
and training of Jordanian partner universities will enable their
faculty and researchers to evaluate existing RE curricula and
effectively redesign the courses to include
state-of-the-art-technologies. This will also greatly assist in
establishing a RE training centre as a local resource and
training point in Jordan. Opportunities for training and study
visits will be provided by all EU partners in the project.
Delivery of training courses will be in traditional face-to-face
format in addition to eLearning environment. EU partners will
help Jordanian partner universities to adapt to changing needs
in their systems required by the Bologna process. Activities
will include:
1. Development of Long-Term Capacity Building Plan;
2. Establishment of RE Training Centre at UoJ;
3. Selection of Training Staff;
4. Academic and technical Visits to EU;
5. Design of Training Materials for Training Workshops
(Traditional and Online);
6. Organization of Training Workshops at Each Jordanian Partner
University.

Towards Establishing a Training Centre
A team from UoJ visited UCY in the period 19-24 January 2015
to be trained on renewable energy experiments and state-of-the-art
equipment set-up, usage, operation and maintenance. This visit has
actually contributed greatly in establishing the RE training centre
as a local resource and training point in Jordan. Another UoJ team
visited Sapienza University in the period 28-30 January 2015 in
order to receive training on new educational tools and distance
learning courses. Sapienza University organised a workshop at “Info-Sapienza”
which is an office that is responsible for e-learning, and new
educational tools, rooms for elaboration of e-learning and distance
courses were presented. Another UoJ team visited Sapienza
