SOLNET - FIRST STRUCTURED INTERNATIONAL PHD-COURSE PROGRAMME ON SOLAR HEATING

摘要

Starting in June 2006, the European Union supports a PhD-network on ‘Advanced solar heating and cooling for buildings’ (Solnet). The network consists of nine university research groups from seven different European countries and several commercial enterprises, working in the fields of civil, mechanical, and environmental engineering, as well as architecture. The program is coordinated by Kassel University, Germany. Ten students receive scholarships and are preparing PhD-thesis in the framework of Solnet. The common scope of the research activities is to contribute to the foundations for a new generation of solar heating and cooling systems with high solar fraction.
