  1. EnerGEO Summer SchoolsPeter Zeil Interfaculty Department of Geoinformatics - Z_GIS University of Salzburg AUSTRIA & GEO Implementation Board Institutions & Development

  2. What is a ‘Summer School’? • What is a GEO Summer School? • The 2nd EnerGEO Summer School in Kampala • Outcomes & recommendations

  3. Summer School Concept Group work Science – policydialogue Intensive event Buildingnetworks Summer School Evaluation ofconcepts Exploringthematiclinkages Outreach Sharing ofexpertise

  4. GEO Summer Schools Should support the strategic objectives of GEO I&D: • Networking activities that specifically build individual, institutional and infrastructure capacity. • Leveraging dedicated resources for Earth observation capacity building efforts. • Uptake of Earth observation in policy and decision making. • Enhanced participation of Developing countries in GEO and GEOSS and in addition: • Link to other SBAs: ecosystems, health, agriculture, impact assessment of human activities • Direct support to tasks: Bioenergy Atlas, AfriGEOSS

  5. EnerGEO Summer Schools Science-Policy Dialogue 1 Energy policy context (continental, regional, local) sharing Concepts, methodologies & demonstration lectures & hands-on sessions sharing Evaluation of concepts Fieldtrip Discussions with local communities Free day sharing Group work Networks Interdisciplinary/intersectorial Preparation of assignment Case studies, Outcomes & recommendations, Preparation of panel discussion Scientific seminar Best Poster Science-Policy Dialogue 2 Closing Ceremony Evaluation & Individual consultation

  15. 2nd EnerGEO Summer School - outcomes ASSESSMENT AND ENERGY POTENTIAL OF BIOMASS IN UGANDA CHALLENGES The Biomass energy challenge in Uganda is centered on lack of a mix of energy sources in power generation, low level of access to modern energy, inadequate infrastructure for generation, transmission and distribution and low level of energy efficiency.

  16. 2nd EnerGEO Summer School - outcomes Solar energy strategy for Uganda Recommendations: Empowering institutions with knowledge of solar energy for sustainability We need to implement and maintain a Spatial data infrastructure SDI- to obtain the right information at the right time for the right purpose

  17. achievements • Linking EU & African energy research • Linking Geomatics & RE research at Makerere University • Linking Spatial RE assessment & donor agencies • Initiating collaboration between RE Research in Kenya & Uganda • Enlarging the community for the Bioenergy Atlas for Africa incl. the Africa-EU Energy Partnership and IRENA • Advocacy for GEO Data Sharing principles

  18. challenges • Coordination between GMES & GEO Evaluation report on a Bioenergy Atlas for Africa proposal (SPACE call 2013) • …. is essentially based on recommendations which come from the EO/GEO community and does not demonstrate that it addresses end-user needs. • …. the added value of the project is more explicit at the level of international initiatives rather than on GMES and the proposed project's end-users. • The nextEnerGEO Summer School: October 2013 – Utrecht The Netherlands
