The Doug Banks Renewable Energy Vision initiative has just issued an invitation for applications for a scholarship for post grad study in Renewable Energy for 2010 & 2011. It has been a slow and tiring process of getting many pieces of a jigsaw puzzle in place, but we're finally reaching a point where we have something tangible to show.
The purpose of the Doug Banks Renewable Energy Vision:
* We aim to attract, identify and mentor bright, capable young people who want to both study further in Renewable Energy; and have a desire to solve the challenges of Africa's future energy needs.
* We intend to partner with sponsors who share our desire to develop Renewable Energy intellectual capital in South Africa, in order to build a trust fund which can to a large degree sustain itself.
* We wish to form a network of professionals who wish to see bright young minds mentored in Renewable Energy.
* Through this, we aim to create a living tribute to Dr Doug Banks and to carry forward his vision and passion for Renewable Energy
If you know of anyone studying engineering at the moment that might be interested in making their career in Renewables, please point them to the website http://dougbanks.co.za/
