We’re delighted to announce that three shortlisted nominees for this year’s Alliance Awards come from Coventry University Group! The Alliance Awards, hosted by @UniAlliance, are an annual celebration of individuals or teams who have made a significant contribution to their university and local or global communities, going above and beyond to deliver substantial real-world impact. The three nominees and their respective categories are: ◼️ Solar cookers in Rwanda - Global Impact category The Solar Energy Transitions project, led by Dr Jonathan Nixon and Dr Alison Halford from our Research Centre for Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling, involved installing solar electronic cookers in 20 households in East Kayonza to reduce reliance on firewood and charcoal stoves, which harm health and the environment. Results showed a reduction in firewood consumption from 3.4kg to 0.86kg per day and a 70% improvement in kitchen air quality, contributing to healthier living environments and saving time.
