Solar energy plays a crucial role in powering sustainable and off-grid solutions for various applications, including agriculture, cold-chain management, and rural electrification.
Building a foundational understanding of refrigeration systems, its role across various industries, and some of the advancements in sustainable and energy-efficient cooling technologies.
Ensuring Integrity in Vital Temperature-Sensitive Biological and Nutritional Products (Vaccines, therapeutics, Reagents, Biospecimens and food), towards a One Health approach.
Temperature is one of the most critical variables in ensuring the quality, safety, and efficiency in refrigerated environments. In both health and agricultural product handling, improper temperature control can result in spoilage, energy waste, and regulatory non-compliance. This course offers a blend of theory and hands-on practice, enabling participants to develop both the knowledge and skills for temperature management.
In the refrigeration industry, the quality of brazed joints is critical. Whether installing or repairing systems, proper brazing ensures leak-free, durable, and efficient performance. It helps prevent refrigerant loss, reduces environmental impact, and supports the safe use of natural refrigerants, which may be flammable or toxic.
Effective post-harvest management is a cornerstone of a resilient and profitable fresh produce supply chain. Amongst the various practices involved, temperature control and monitoring stand out as the first line of defence in preserving quality, safety and reducing losses.

Participants will be introduced to essential safety concepts including hazard identification, risk assessment, personal protective equipment (PPE), electrical safety, emergency procedures, and the safe handling of tools and equipment. Emphasis will be placed on practical, real-world applications to ensure participants can confidently implement safety practices across both formal and informal work settings.
As cooling systems become more complex, the ability to quickly and accurately diagnose faults is critical for ensuring optimal system performance, minimizing downtime, reducing operational costs, and maximising energy efficiency. The course incorporates a blend of theoretical instruction and hands-on practical activities, ensuring a holistic learning experience that bridges foundational knowledge with real-world technical application.
The programme now has more than 65 researchers, experts, trainers, technicians and advisors. We need someone to work and help manage the large-scale ACES project at the University of Birmingham, collaborating with global partners across academia, government, NGOs, and industry to deliver project goals and impact.
Final applications by 29th May 2025 17.00 GMT.
