Outcomes & recommendations
Summer School Concept
Evaluation of concepts Intensive event Outreach Group work Summer School Science – policy dialogue Building networks Exploring thematic linkages Sharing of expertise
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

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.
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
• • • • • •
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
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 next EnerGEO Summer School: October 2013 – Utrecht The Netherlands
