17 July 2023
OpenMod4Africa, an ambitious EU project aimed at developing sustainable and reliable energy systems in Africa, where the Comillas Pontifical University, through its Institute for Research in Technology, is a key partner, has started at the beginning of July.
OpenMod4Africa is set to make a significant impact on the continent's energy landscape. OpenMod4Africa will develop an open modelling toolbox, leveraging state-of-the-art models adapted to the African context and needs. These models will enable comprehensive analyses of long-term energy pathways, tailored to different regions, cities, industries, and countries. The project will also facilitate transparent data exchange and collaboration, allowing stakeholders to benchmark results.
