On the steps near The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium looking out toward the Grand-Place
Two days ago I delivered my final presentation in Brussels and I am now a Master in renewable energy! As I write this post I am still in Brussels watching the first snow of the season begin to fall outside.
It is a great relief to have completed all the requirements for the course but it is with a tinge of sadness that I say goodbye to my newfound friends and prepare to move on to the next stage.
Overall it has been a truly amazing experience. I’ve met so many interesting people and have seen so many interesting things.
The presentations took place at www.eurocities.eu. It was a very suitable venue for the occasion and everything progressed smoothly. I would like to thank the EUREC Agency for organising a fitting finale.
For those of you interested in my presentation you may download it below:
Some people asked me how I created the documents above. Once again I relied 100% on open source software to do the job. Below is a list of the software used:
- Presentation – Openoffice
- Picture editing – The Gimp
- Graphs – the python plotting library matplotlib
- Animation – a combination of python and matplotlib. I modified the following example script.
While in Brussels I stayed with an amazing couple that I got to know through the www.couchsurfing.org network. You should really check it out. It’s the only way to travel.
Oh and one last tip. Upon your arrival in Brussels you should head to the Brussels Info Place for free maps of the city and some very cool and free audio visual displays. I now know a lot more about how the EU was created. So thank you to Brussels for another interesting experience.
Wel done man.
Serious expression though… says a lot!
Thanks Ankur! Keep going with yours mate. Nearly there.
