The Centre is designed as a modern educational and scientific-practical platform. It will serve as a hub for professional training, upskilling of energy specialists, applied research, and hands-on learning. By combining theoretical instruction with laboratory work and practical experience, the Centre aims to equip a new generation of professionals with the skills required to support the transition to renewable energy systems—not only in Kyrgyzstan but across Central Asia.

This initiative would not have been possible without the support of key partners. We extend our sincere gratitude to SolarSpar for their essential contribution to the renovation and equipping of the Centre. We also acknowledge the valuable support of the Ville de Genève, the Commune d'Onex, and the Ville de Meyrin, whose contributions have been instrumental in advancing the broader solar energy project.
