As Nation Sets Sights on Energy Transition, AAU Assumes Steering Role In keeping with Ethiopia’s energy transition plans, training in solar power technologies is underway at the Addis Ababa Institute of Technology organized by the Solar Technology Application Resource-Centre (STAR-C) which acts as Ethiopia’s  technology, knowledge, and expertise hub on solar energy . The training in the fastest-growing form of power generation in the world as a potential renewable energy option for Ethiopia drew in electrical technology students from the Addis Ababa Polytechnic College. The training addresses key trends and technological advances driving the solar energy sector towards a more efficient, integrated, and sustainable future alongside Ethiopia’s ambitions of becoming a key power exporter. The electrical technology with renewable energy systems training is set to have a ripple effect as more institutions are expected to follow the lead. Yonas Minalu, (PhD), Director for Technology Transfer and University Industry Linkage of AAiT said that the STAR-Center was established recently in cooperation with the International Solar Alliance (ISA) and the Addis Ababa Institute of Technology aiming to carry out capacity building, product testing, innovation, and knowledge management activities related to solar technologies. Frehiwot Woldehanna (PhD), Director of the STAR-Center, for his part said the solar industry is experiencing a boom and developments in African countries are driving greater demand for solar energy together with national  policies, environmental concerns, and the decreasing cost of solar panels. It was revealed that Ethiopia has set itself the goal of improving the electricity supply to keep pace with rising demand, arising from rapid urbanization and investment in trade and industry. @addisababauniversityofficial

Addis Ababa University Partners with Peking University As it continues to expand its network of regional and global partners, AAU today formalized a strategic partnership with Peking University of China. This latest international agreement raises the number of high-profile universities forming partnerships with AAU. Jeilu Oumer (PhD), Academic Vice President of AAU said a delegation from the University of Peking, visited AAU to sign a cooperation agreement which is hoped to grow opportunities for academic, scientific, and cultural exchanges between the two universities in strategic areas of political science, international relations, urban governance and urban planning. The AVP said the strategic partnership agreement will involve developing new joint research and other projects in the specified fields, as well as student and staff mobility.

Internationals Sida logoSida has been supporting Addis Ababa University for over three decades through its earlier program SIDA-SAREC. As the result of this long standing funding support, Addis Ababa University has been benefiting through capacity building in terms of manpower, programs, infrastructure, equipments, etc. Scaling up its support in 2009, Sida entered into a special block grant agreement with Addis Ababa University in order to support the University’s new initiative on graduate expansion, more specifically the in-house PhD program as well as research development. The project had the following specific objectives: • To launch and execute quality in-house PhD programs; • To strengthen the existing research capacity of the University; • To establish relevant centers of excellence; • To improve library services and enhance research facilities; • To undertake Graduate Scholarships for Females; • To automate the main components of the administrative wing and • To support the administrative reform and improve efficiency of the administrative wing.

Consortium of French Universities Keen to Strengthen Partnership with AAU AAU Academic Vice President, Dr Jeilu Oumer, today received and conferred with a delegation of a consortium of French universities led by Professor Sonia Lehman-Frisch, Vice President for International Affairs at Université Paris Nanterre, who expressed the desire of the three universities (Université of Paris Nanterre, University of De La Réunion and Université of De Rennes) to expand and strengthen partnerships with Addis Ababa university on staff and student exchange, training, joint research and supervision. Dr Jeilu highlighted AAU’s readiness to expand its global networks to fulfill its mission, vision and core functions and to further enhance the university’s profile and reputation as a leading public university in Africa. The Academic Vice President told the French delegation that, although AAU has always valued partnerships and collaborations, it has sought to place even greater emphasis on forging strong relations with international partners to more effectively advance its new mandate since its recent assumption of autonomy. He also reaffirmed the university’s commitment to implement its agreements with its multiple strategic partners and deliver on its mandates to address nationally and globally important issues, including environmental concerns. Dr Jeilu said AAU is thrilled to strengthen the partnership with the French universities and expand spheres of cooperation to involve more areas of research and scholarship, adding there would be more meetings to expand horizons for academic collaboration. In an exclusive interview, Demis Mengist (PhD), Head for the Department of Environmental Studies at AAU, for his part stated that the meeting between the AAU leadership and the Consortium of French universities focused on a project which has been functional since 2019 and other related projects under the scheme.
