The Research EnPe collaboration

- aims to strengthen M.Sc. programes and petroleum related research at Makerere University and University of Juba in order to support these young petroleum economies with a workforce in demand in addition to applied geoscience research. These aims are met through the funding of several master-, PhD- and postdoctoral projects, as well as the establishment of a proper infrastructure for producing high-quality research.

Students or staff enrolled in research projects funded through EnPe will have access to modern facilities with up-to-date software, and will also have the unique opportunity to be part an internatinal network. Research topics include a variety of geological and geophysical studies which aim to provide not just new knowledge to the field of geoscience, but also to provide the researcher with skills applicable for a variety of jobs in both the industrial and public sectors.
