Testimonials
Djalila Ben-Bouchta
Master of Science Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
The REMENA program was one of the most challenging, yet very inspiring and life changing times of my life. Not having an engineering background mainly contributed to this feeling. But I can say with certainty, that whoever is passionate about sustainable development, renewable energies, and energy efficiency not only from a technical but also in regard to political, economic, environmental and social issues and is willing to learn and improve themselves will not only graduate successfully from REMENA but will also be able to work in reputable organizations/entities in the energy sector and related fields across the globe.
