26 July 2016

UNU-GTP, LaGeo and the University of El Salvador (UES) will be conducting a Geothermal Diploma Course for Latin America in El Salvador from August 15 to December 20.  The four month long course is intended for Spanish speaking professionals in Latin America and continues the tradition of geothermal diploma courses that have been held at UES in the past years.  The course is part of a two year project funded by the Nordic Development Fund through facilitation by the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs, with additional contributions made by the implementing parties.  Ten scholarships are available for geothermal professionals outside of El Salvador and ten for professionals in El Salvador.  The diploma course consists of ten modules devoted to specific aspects of geothermal development or particular phases of the studies, and one week is reserved for student participation in Short Course I on Sustainability and Environmental Management of Geothermal Resource Utilization and the Role of Geothermal in Combating Climate Change, to be held during 4-10 September, 2016, as advertised earlier.  UNU-GTP takes an active part in the organization and management of the diploma course and three UNU-GTP lecturers will make lecture contributions to the same number of modules.
