4^th International RD20 Summer School

Organized by UM6P & LIMSET, in collaboration with RD20. Join us for an enriching academic experience bringing together researchers and innovators from around the world to explore the future of renewable energy and sustainable development.

RD20 Summer School

Where Global Minds Shape Sustainable Solutions

The RD20 Summer School is an international training and networking platform for early-career researchers and senior leaders in clean energy. The 2026 edition, hosted at UM6P Benguerir, will gather global experts to explore solutions in carbon management, renewable energy, hydrogen, ammonia, AI, and sustainable materials.

Why Morocco & UM6P ?

Living lab for the energy transition

Morocco offers a uniquely rigorous testbed for clean-energy innovation—grid-scale solar and wind operating in desert and coastal climates, growing green-hydrogen value chains.

UM6P: where research meets deployment.

At University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P) in Benguerir, translational research is the operating system. World-class labs sit next to pilot plants and industrial partners.

Industry at the table from day one.

UM6P's foundation by OCP—one of the world's most influential actors in fertilizers and the phosphate value chain—creates a direct line to high-impact decarbonization challenges.

LIMSET: materials and systems for a net-zero economy.

The Laboratory of Inorganic Materials for Sustainable Energy Technologies (LIMSET) advances the full stack of energy innovation: novel battery and thermal-storage materials.
