ACES Rubirizi Campus
Kigali, Rwanda
The ACES campus in Rwanda serves as a central hub for research, policy, advocacy, training and technology demonstration in clean cooling and sustainable cold-chains. Housed on a five hectare campus with an adjacent 200 hectare farm in Kigali, facilities at ACES include: a technology test and demonstration centre; refrigeration and solar training centres; 200-person capacity conference centre; collaborative undergraduate and teaching facilities established at IPRC Kigali. In fact, we host a great range of courses here, including:
- Essentials in Brazing Techniques for Refrigeration Systems Course
- Cold-chain specifications and commissioning course
- Train The Trainer Programme
- Refrigeration Technician Course
The future at ACES:
Also featuring a quality, safety and postharvest management laboratory, as well as an environmental test chamber (scheduled for completion and operation by the end of 2025) and a demonstration Community Cooling Hub (operational by March 2026), this ACES campus ultimately aims to reduce food and vaccine loss, economically empower subsistence and smallholder farmers and their communities and mitigate the potential environmental impact of the cold-chain.
Training courses at this venue are operated by:
Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Cooling and Cold Chain (ACES)
