📣 We were delighted to host the General Assembly 2026 of Engineers without borders Luxembourg and to welcome such an engaged and inspiring community.

The evening was a great opportunity to:
– look back at our key highlights and achievements from 2025
– present our priorities, projects and ambitions for 2026
– share our activities across water, energy, waste management and sustainability
– exchange ideas on how to get involved through volunteering, collaboration and student engagement

We would like to warmly thank everyone who joined us at
📍 University of Luxembourg – Kirchberg Campus (D07)

Your presence, questions and enthusiasm truly reflect the strength of our community and our shared commitment to engineering for social and environmental impact.

Thank you for being part of this journey and we look forward to what we will build together in 2026.

Our committee members Kristina Teppo and Michel Guenther had the exciting opportunity to meet with Dr. Jeff Mangers and Dr. Atal Kumar, the founders of CRAB Traceability Systems – a university spin-off developing innovative solutions for waste management.

CRAB has developed a portable, AI-driven optical waste analysis system with two main versions:
– App-based solution: analyses small datasets (just a few pictures)
– Mobile analyser: a complete system for monitoring waste streams on a conveyor belt (all components fit into a transportable box)

The algorithm can be fine-tuned to detect and classify a wide range of materials, from construction waste to different types of plastics. Once set up, the system can run for up to 5 hours on battery power and completely independent without internet connection, collecting real-time data for quality control, auditing, and process optimisation.
