Developing Energy Efficient and Smart Lighting Education in Vietnam & Myanmar
DESL (Developing Energy Efficient and Smart Lighting Education in Vietnam & Myanmar) is an Erasmus+ project under the Key Action 2 (Capacity building in the field of higher education) funded by European Union with the total budget of 913,197 Euro. The Project involves the participation of 3 European universities, 4 Vietnamese Universities and 2 universities in Myanmar including the Aalto University – Finland; Technische Universiteit Eindhoven – the Netherlands; Univerza V Ljubljani – Slovenia; Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Thu Dau Mot University, Eastern International University, Vietnamese – German University (Vietnam); Mandalay Technological University and Yangon Technological University (Myanmar).
The overall objective of the project is to support Higher Education Institutions in Myanmar and Vietnam to provide education that promotes sustainable socio-economic development. The project aims to assist Vietnam and Myanmar to reduce electricity consumption as well as greenhouse gas emissions through capacity building of human resources in the fields of energy efficient lighting systems.
Based on those goals, the project sets out following specific objectives:
- To raise the awareness and to identify needs and opportunities in efficient lighting
- To develop new courses in energy efficient smart lighting based on the local needs
- To modernize the laboratory infrastructure to enhance the learning environments
- To enhance and upgrade the skills and competences of teaching staff for innovative academic environment
- To strengthen the cooperation between university, industry, public sectors and society for the promotion of energy efficient lighting
The project consists of 05 Work Packages (WP):
– WP 1: Needs assessment and analysis
