This project is part of the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme Initiative funded by the European Commission. This Grow Green Africa project aims to enhance competencies in green computing technologies for students and trainees in the Southern African region. Specifically, it seeks to equip 10 PhD students, 35 Master of Science students, and 8 trainees. Additionally, this project facilitates knowledge exchange by supporting the mobility of 15 staff members from five participating African institutions: National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Zimbabwe, Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Namibia, Copperbelt University (CBU) in Zambia, Rhodes University (RU) in South Africa, and University of Eswatini (UNESWA) in Eswatini. The project’s technical lead is provided by the University of Turku (UTU), a European Union partner from Finland.
These are the specific fields of study that students can pursue under this Intra-Africa Mobility Program. This project envisions a net-zero world where Africa thrives economically, ecologically, and socially. By harnessing smart green technologies, the initiative aims to catalyze growth, empower communities, and contribute to global climate action.
This is a consortium of five universities working in collaboration on a project. It is a partnership with five universities namely NUST Zimbabwe, NUST Namibia, CBU Zambia, UNESWA, and Rhodes University. The collaboration includes offering scholarships in green computing studies. Programs offered are Masters, PhD, and staff mobility. The technical lead is provided by a European Union partner from Finland, the University of Turku (UTU).
