ΔE⁺ Act as Trainers for Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development

ΔE⁺ group members Dr. Taco Niet, Dr. Nastaran Arianpoo, Kamaria Kuling, Sina Motalebi, Tewodros Walle Mekonnen, and Trevor Barnes participated as trainers in the Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development in June.  The summer school is supported by the numerous international organizations and supports participants from countries around the globe to build capacity in modelling for low carbon pathways to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. The summer school is a three-week intensive course where participants from developing nations learn the fundamentals of energy planning models. Deliverables from the school include a functional model, a policy note, and a presentation of their findings.

As trainers, the ΔE⁺ group supported participants working through the OSeMOSYS and CLEWs training tracks. This included discussing the fundamentals of the modelling frameworks, working through common troubleshooting techniques with the participants to solve modelling errors, and guiding the development of scenarios. The summer school was a huge success, and we look forward to participating in similar events in the future!
