2013 Workshops“We exchanged points of view on priorities in the design of stoves. We learned to identify critical points in the design of stoves.”
– Mexico
“We learned a better way to perform the WBT and CCT. The design modifications were useful and we had hands on practice and we noticed the improved efficiency of the stove.”
– Nepal
“Interaction always gives a chance to learn about new things, and sometimes gives new ways of thinking about the same problem.”
– India
