Dii offers five fellowships to enable young journalists from North Africa and the Middle East to attend the 3rd Dii Desert Energy Conference which takes place from 7th - 9th of November 2012 in Berlin. Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
At the 3rd Dii Desert Energy Conference, we will present our strategic framework "Desert Power 2050" which shows how key aspects of the Desertec vision could work in practice. Dii demonstrates how, based on proven technologies, solar and wind resources can be combined with grids to securely supply North Africa, the Middle East and Europe with sustainable and affordable power.
Attending the conference offers you the chance to meet scientific, political and economic representatives from the entire EUMENA region and to discuss how a secure, affordable and clean electricity supply could be created.
Speakers will raise topics such as support schemes needed to develop markets for renewable energy, industrial expectations of a joint EUMENA market, perspectives for the young generation and will address the question of how can desert power deliver green growth.
