Training programmes

Sustainability workshop Oct.'01

The sharing of acquired expertise and skills with interested persons/organisations has become an integral part of CSR activities. The aim is to promote integral choices towards a sustainable future by providing education to professionals, voluntary organisations and students through awareness programmes, workshops, training courses and seminars in environmental and sustainable technologies.

Although the first training courses started in ferrocement technology during 1990, gradually more training topics were added, usually in fields which CSR covered in its R&D activities. Today, international and national training courses cover a wide range of activities in the field of renewable energies, appropriate building technologies, waste water recycling and technologies for the protection of the environment.

CSR/AVBC works with collaborating agencies and conducts the training sessions at dedicated conference rooms on its campus.
