Advancing our global mission together! 🌍

In June, our President and Engineers Without Borders International (EWB-I) Board Member, Kristina Teppo, joined the EWB-I Strategic Workshop in Birmingham, UK.

Over three inspiring days, EWB-I board members and the delivery team worked together to shape the network’s vision toward 2030—strengthening the strategy, governance, and collaboration to amplify global impact through engineering for sustainable, community-centred development.

The visit also included inspiring examples of impact in action, from CIVIC SQUARE’s neighbourhood-led transformation work to the EWB-UK Engineering for People Design Challenge Grand Finals, where students showcased innovative solutions to real-world challenges.

A sincere thank you to the EWB-I delivery team—especially Katie Cresswell-Maynard—for the excellent facilitation, to our fellow EWB-I Board members for their valuable contributions, and to EWB-UK for being such generous hosts and for inspiring the next generation of engineers.

Together, we’re building a stronger global network and a more sustainable future:

🌍 Great moments of exchange at our Engineers without borders Luxembourg catch-up

We recently gathered at Campus Kirchberg — old faces, new joiners, and a lot of pizza to reflect on the past six months, share updates on our projects, and discuss the next steps ahead.

🔧 We explored progress across initiatives including:
• Solar PV systems in Uganda
• Circular economy and plastic waste management in Cameroon
• Biochar production research
• Sustainable construction with earth-based materials in Morocco

A big thank you to everyone who joined, shared ideas, and contributed to our growing community of engineers, students, researchers, and sustainability enthusiasts.

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.
