Eid Adhuha Wishes webadmin Wed, 07/21/2021 - 15:39

On behalf of Management, I wish our Moslem brothers and sisters a peaceful Eid Adhuha celebration. Eid Adhuha, like many religious celebrations seeks to promote peace and love for all humanity. I therefore join our gallant members of staff from the Moslem faith in celebrating this day. I wish all of you happiness and prosperity, as you continue to be part of a great team as, WE BUILD FOR THE FUTURE!

ALLAH BLESS YOU!

This Wellcome Trust grant has been made available to facilitate researchers engage the public with their research. Researchers share their ideas with the public and in return get new perspectives on their research and can inspire learning, enhance research and help to improve health.

The World Bank Group (WBG) Africa Fellowship Program targets young, talented African nationals who are completing, or have recently completed their Ph.D. in an area relevant to the World Bank’s work. The fellowship program has been very successful since its inception, building a strong pipeline of young African talent interested in a career in development, international institutions, African governments, think tanks, and academia.

In line with the European Green Deal priorities, the farm to fork strategy for a fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food system, and the EU's climate ambition for 2030 and 2050, the successful proposal will support R&I to prevent and reduce food loss and waste, contributing to the transformation of food systems to deliver co-benefits for climate (mitigation and adaptation), biodiversity, environmental sustainability and circularity

Proposals related to this call are expected to demonstrate significant advances with respect to already achieved results in Europe and outside, delivering a minimum of 50% and demonstrating the potential to achieve mass production and a competitive hydrogen cost and an improved climate performance with respect to current methane based, CO

The objective of this call aims at satisfying the need for low-temperature heat in the relevant industrial sectors, by upgrading lower temperature heat flows, including from renewable heat sources, ambient heat, or industrial excess (waste) heat, as a cost-efficient way to improve energy efficiency and reduce the GHG emissions. The proposal should,

roposed research should support the safety assessment and development of advanced and innovative reactor safety designs and technologies for deployment in the medium and long term, including Research Reactors and the Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

Photovoltaic power generation is pivotal in the transition to a clean energy system and the achievement of the zero-emissions target. To that end, it is important to enhance affordability, security of supply and sustainability of PV technologies along with further efficiency improvements.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light.

Digitally controlled charging solutions represent a fundamental building block of a full and effective shift to electromobility. When scaled to a mass-market-level, current uncontrolled charging (i.e. maximum available power from the moment the vehicle is plugged in) could contribute to creating an extra burden on the power system.

In this topic, sustainability is meant in environmental, social and economic terms.

Plastic (and other) waste, such as packaging, textiles, etc., could potentially represent a sustainable alternative to imported fossil feedstock (e.g. oil, gas). It contains high amounts of carbon, it is widely available and its valorisation could also provide environmental and societal benefits avoiding the disposal in landfills.

Lithium-ion battery cells with conventional active materials are reaching their limits in terms of energy densities. Also, safety issues arise with the utilisation of liquid organic electrolytes which are becoming even more critical with the nearly introduction of advanced materials made to increase cell voltage and fast-charging rates.

The overarching R&I challenges lie in the development of solid-state electrolytes, cathode materials and anode materials enabling higher thermal and electrochemical stability while targeting higher energy/power densities, fast charging, cyclability and improved safety. These new materials should contribute to the control of thermal runaway at an early stage, and create non-propagation designs.

The aims of the Ireland-Africa Fellows Programme are to nurture future African leaders, women and men, to develop in-country capacity to achieve national SDG goals, and to build positive relationships between Ireland and Africa. The programme offers selected students the opportunity to undertake a fully-funded one-year master’s programme at a prestigious higher education institution (HEI) in Ireland.

INVITATION TO THE 1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON REIMAGINING THE NATURAL PRODUCTS INDUSTRY IN AFRICA (RNPIA – 2021), 5th JULY 2021 TO 7th JULY 2021 webadmin Tue, 06/29/2021 - 08:48 On behalf of the RNPIA-2021 Organizing committee, I have the pleasure to invite you to the 1stInternational Conference On Reimagining The Natural Products Industry In Africa.

RNPIA-2021 is aimed at encouraging transdisciplinarity through knowledge sharing by scholars, practitioners in industry, non-governmental organizations, and policymakers. We envisage mutual learning and joint problem solving to create sustainable solutions for Africa’s Natural Products Industry.

RNPIA-2021 Conference will take place from the 5thto the 7th of July 2021. Due to COVID-19, the event will be 95% virtual.

 You can join in using the zoom link below.
