<title>Ethiopian Regional Workshop on Solar Energy and Energy Storage Technologies: Materials, System Design, and Applications | (smr 3149)</title>
<description>&lt;br /&gt;
Director: &lt;strong&gt;Teketel YOHANNES&lt;/strong&gt;, AASTU, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
	ICTP Contacts: &lt;strong&gt;Ralph GEBAUER&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;strong&gt;Nicola SERIANI,&lt;/strong&gt; ICTP, Trieste, Italy&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	The Workshop addresses students and researchers working in the field of solar energy and energy storage.&amp;nbsp; The event will focus on fundamental and applied research on functional materials, on devices and on their application.&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	To cope with increasing global energy demand, solar energy is one of the best alternatives.&amp;nbsp; The feasibility of solar energy technology in Africa, where the sun is available throughout the year, is not questionable.&amp;nbsp; This huge energy can be used as photo-thermal and in photovoltaic forms.&amp;nbsp; For efficient conversion of solar energy it is very important to have a clear understanding of the photo-physical and opto-electrical properties of materials.&amp;nbsp; In parallel with the development of photovoltaic devices, due attention has to be given to the storage of electrical energy in easily portable chemical energy forms and/or in an electrical field.&amp;nbsp; Since solar energy is collected only in the day time, it is also wise to develop alternative technologies such as storage for renewable energy forms.&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	Please note that funds from the Joint Undertaking for an African Materials Institute (JUAMI) are also available for US students.&lt;br /&gt;
