EWB Luxembourg Quarterly Meeting – October 2025

This week, we held its Quarterly Meeting at the University of Luxembourg – Kirchberg Campus. The session offered a valuable opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and reflect on ongoing projects.

One of the highlights was the presentations for our Cameroon Circular Economy Project ♻️, covering topics from low-tech biochar production to plastic brick machine optimization. The discussions sparked many new ideas and plans for the coming months.

💚 It was wonderful to welcome both new and familiar faces. We thank all participants for their contributions, insights, and energy — your engagement continues to drive our projects forward.

🎉 Student Partner again with the University of Luxembourg!

fter being first recognised as a Student Association, then as a Student Partner when our PhD members were still studying, we temporarily lost the status last year due to a lack of student members.

This academic year (since October 2025), we are proud to have obtained the Student Partner status again 🎓

👉 We are now officially listed on the University of Luxembourg website and can benefit from:
▪️ Small room reservations
▪️ Printing services
▪️ Promotion via the Office of Student Life Facebook page
▪️ and visibility on the university platform

💡 This status highlights our strong collaboration with the University and, above all, our commitment to actively engage students in real-world sustainability and engineering projects.

We’re looking forward to building even more impactful student-led initiatives this year! 🌱

Guest Lecture: Circular Economy & Waste Management 🌍

This week, Engineers Without Borders Luxembourg had the honor of welcoming Dr. Oec. Patrick L. Dorvil, Senior Sector Economist at the European Investment Bank, for a lecture on circular economy and waste management.

The event brought together master’s students from the University of Luxembourg (originally from Cameroon), along with members of EWB Luxembourg, both in person and online. Under the supervision of Dr. Dorvil, the students have now begun their work, contributing to our Cameroon Circular Economy Project – Plastic Waste Management as part of their academic program.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Dorvil for sharing his expertise and for guiding the next generation of engineers, as well as to the University of Luxembourg for supporting this collaboration. This initiative strengthens the bridge between academia and practical field projects, helping to advance sustainable waste management solutions in Cameroon.
