Tunisia
D-Lab is working with the Institute of Technological Studies of Medenine (ISET) and the Institut des Regions Arides (IRA) to establish Energy Hubs that engage students and faculty in energy education and energy efficiency projects.
Burkina Faso
D-Lab is proposing an exploratory visit to assess the capacity and impact of implementing a D-Lab International Satellite to engage students in client-focused, project-based courses to develop sustainable engineering solutions tailored to specific communities in Burkina Faso. The visit is meant to facilitate a one-day training of instructors and professors.

Georgia
The UC Davis D-Lab formed the Georgia Working Group (GWG) to conduct small courses with students from Georgian universities and local Georgian communities facing environmental issues. The GWG works with primary in-country client, NGO Environment & Development (E&D). The goal of D-Lab's collaborative efforts with E&D is to facilitate curriculum and faculty exchange, with the support of Georgian universities, government ministries, and organizations.
The involvement of the UC Davis D-Lab in evaluating developed courses as a short term contribution was crucial. After the exploratory visit, we are starting to develop long-term cooperations between the two Universities. It will also introduce relevant educational, thematic curriculas essential for GIPA to modify and extend knowledge in the fields of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources Management, Rural and Agriculture Development . -- Kakhaber Bakhtadze, Program Manager of Environment & Development.
