In addition to lectures, participants were also involved in the group work. In total, 5 project works were made in a group concentrating on for example how to increase pellet and briquette production by using industrial side streams in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania or looking at the optimization of the sources of bioenergy from wastewater by cultivating microalgae, a case proposal in Tanzania,
