CPEEL was established through the generous support of John. D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation as a Regional Centre of Excellence. The main goal of the Centre is to train highly skilled personnel and conduct research on energy. The Centre was established, July 2011 and designed to strengthen the human capacity in sub-Saharan Africa’s energy sector. It was established as a Multidisciplinary Centre with the aim of bringing together energy professionals in the Sciences, Engineering, Law, Humanities, Social Sciences, and other related areas, in order to address energy issues in a holistic and collaborative manner. CPEEL covers all aspects of energy, including oil and gas, electricity, renewable, climate change, energy finance, regulations and energy contracts, rural energy and poverty, waste to energy as well as energy technology. The flagship of CPEEL is graduate training leading to the awards of Master and Doctorate degrees in Energy Studies and Energy Law as well as research on diverse energy issues. It is presently the only Centre of its kind in the African Region and maintains a cordial relationship with similar Energy Centres in Europe and America. CPEEL is also set to expand the scope of its responsibilities to community-based intervention. The Centre maintains extensive collaborations with various ministries, departments, agencies of government, local and international civil society organizations, development agencies, energy companies, research organizations, national assembly, and renowned global energy Centres.

2021-11-08	Luc Wuytens		Belgium, Leuven	Hi all, my 20+ yrs career is mainly about supply chain planning. However in recent years I became quite interested in AI and Big Data as well. As a result, I graduated summa cum laude last year, in 2020, for a postgraduate in big data and analytics with a dissertation in the context of deep learning and circular economy. Today I am working on the intersection of supply chain planning and AI, as director delivery for www.lop.ai. There is perhaps no direct link to climate change in my job, but I like to think that there are many indirect links. In my private time, I am aiming to become more 'engaged' towards climate change and I would like to contribute and use my skill set in this area as well.

Short Bio

L’Association internationale pour Médina-Mary (AIMM), a été créée en 2005. Elle oeuvre pour l'amélioration des vie des populations du terroir de Médina-Mary, à 600 km, au sud-est de Dakar. ce terroir est composé de 7 villages qui ont une population totale de 10.000 habitants. Depuis, sa création, l'AIMM sert de trait- d’union entre la population et l’Etat du Sénégal. Ses nombreux plaidoyers auprès de l’administration et actions ont permis au terroir de disposer d'un dispensaire, d'une maternité, d'une école maternelle, d'un collège, d'un bureau de poste, d'un forage multi-village, d'une mini-laiterie communautaire, d'une antenne relais de télécommunication pour les mobiles et connexion internet, etc... Education - soutien en fournitures scolaires et pédagogiques à l’école de Médina-Mary - célébration annuelle de la Fête de la Francophonie à l’école de Médina-Mary - implantation d’un CEM à Médina-Mary - ouverture d’une école maternelle à Médina-Mary.
