Engineers Without Borders Luxembourg

📣 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.

Last month, Kristina Teppo, President of Engineers Without Borders Luxembourg, took part in the three-day Engineers Without Borders International Strategy Workshop in Hyderabad, India.

The workshop brought together the EWB International Board of Directors and the Delivery Team to align on priorities for the coming years, including strategic direction, collaboration frameworks, and ways to strengthen our collective impact across the global EWB network.

During the visit, participants also had the opportunity to see a community project supported by EWB-India, focused on providing a safe and supportive environment for women and girls in vulnerable situations. The initiative combines essential infrastructure solutions – such as renewable energy systems – with education and long-term community support, demonstrating how engineering can create a meaningful and lasting social impact.

🙏 Our sincere thanks to EWB-India and Rajeev Lal for hosting the workshop, and to the EWB International Delivery Team for the excellent organisation.

Last week, current and new members of Engineers Without Borders met for an informal get-together at the Christmas market. We enjoyed having a drink together and appreciated that the founders could join us.

We talked about our recently completed mission and our plans for the coming year, learned more about the history of EWB Luxembourg — which is now already 12 years old — and appreciated the fresh perspectives brought by new faces. A relaxed and valuable evening of exchange.

Thanks to everyone who joined!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
