JUAMI 2018: Materials for Sustainable Energy
December 10 – 20, 2018, Kampala, Uganda
JUAMI features tutorials on cutting-edge energy materials topics, hands-on experiments and learning activities, and research seminars by top materials scientists. JUAMI 2018 was held 10-20 December 2018, in Kampala, Uganda, co-hosted by Makerere University. Building on the success of the previous JUAMI schools, the lectures of JUAMI 2018 focused on Materials for Sustainable Energy, covering areas from perovskite solar cells to flow batteries. As with prior JUAMI schools, JUAMI fellowships fully funded US and African students to attend and participate in the entire two-week program. Instruction was provided to 62 graduate students: 24 from the US, 37 from Africa (predominantly Eastern Africa, including 13 local students enrolled at Makerere University), and one from Israel. 50% of the students were female. Tutorials and frontier research seminars were delivered by 21 instructors and lecturers from the US, Europe, Africa, and Israel, 7 of whom were female.
Program Features
JUAMI schools feature tutorials on cutting-edge energy materials topics, hands-on experiments and learning activities, and research seminars by top materials scientists. By providing full financial support for students to participate in the entire two-week program, JUAMI fellows are able to completely immerse themselves in the experience, see problems from different perspectives, gain new skills and inspiration for tackling research questions, and develop lasting relationships.
