Universities resilient to climate change: Public awareness, sustainable education, and technology development as principal strategies towards net zero carbon campus.

Staffordshire Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Engineering

Since 2021 Alexandria and University of Staffordshire have been engaged in a program of research developing Organic/polymeric solar cell and we have had considerable technological success which contributes towards tackling climate change. However, through the current program we intend to address the challenges and implications of global warming with plausible solutions.

1. To raise public awareness in renaissance in energy sector and its positive impact on environment and creation of new jobs and prosperity for community.2. To develop training courses in renewable energy and associated fields for job creation.
3. To co-develop learning materials in Renewable energy for sustainable Engineering.
4. To share Institutional energy management data for reduction in CO2 emission
5. To facilitate feasibility study for the design and development of net zero carbon campus
