DESERTEC University Network(DUN)
• Academic research and innovation network • Bringing together public and private scientific,
technological, research, development and academic institutions interested in and capable of contributing to the implementation of the DESERTEC Concept.
• Promoting the development of human resources • training, education, and R & D for the industrial
production of equipment/related services (DESERETEC)
• 31 Members(MENA/EU)
Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE)
RCREEE
Think Tank (RE-policies & instruments
Regional cooperation & Cross-regional Cooperation)
Management of Regional R&D&D–Programs for RE
RE-Training Courses & post-graduate RE-education

Conclusions
• Many on going initiatives, projects, programs and activities in RE
• Need to integrate Research efforts and prioriterize research efforts
• Need efficient Networking and Synergy • Need intensive cooperation with EU institutes in
R&D • Need multiplication of Educational programs in
RE and link education with research.
