In February 2024, the C-Cook-Mali Winter School was conducted over the course of two weeks. The goal was to train Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD students from Mali in topics related to energy transition and clean cooking technologies in the context of West Africa. During the first week, members of ITT, IPR/IFRA and USTT-B gave lectures on these topics. In the second week, participants visited the clean cooking pilot plants at the USTT-B and IPR/IFRA facilities. Additionally, participants worked together in groups with the assistance of tutors, presenting their results and receiving certificates at the end of the school.
