Work Package 1 aims to enhance university delivery of masters’ curricula for SDG7. We support 30 partner universities across Africa, South Asia and the Indo-Pacific to deliver Masters’ currciula focused on clean energy access. The support includes funding as well as technical and marketing support. Additional support includes facilitating linkages and sharing of expertise between our partners, and facilitating guest lectures and trainings by energy companies.
By 2022, seven of our partner universities had launched new Masters’ programmes focused on energy access. In 2023, TEA-LP signed awards with 23 new partner universities to include newly designed Masters’ level energy access courses in their existing Masters’ programmes. Each course (of approximately 160 student hours) includes a variety of aspects such as technology, policy, business models and socio-economic aspects of energy access. The courses use a case study approach, highlighting best examples of global/regional solutions as well as local solutions.
TEA-LP thus aims to ensure that masters’ students will gain the high-level knowledge, skills and competencies to contribute effectively to the sustainable delivery of clean energy access in their countries.
