Prefaces

Dear Dear Participants of the First Symposium at PAUWES and Partners of the Institute,

As the Director of PAUWES and on behalf of the Institute, it was with great pleasure that I welcomed you in the beautiful city of Tlemcen to convene PAUWES’ first International Symposium entitled “State of the Art – Challenges and Trends in Energy and Water in Africa.” I am equally delighted to start the process of consolidation by opening this Book of Abstracts, which serves, together with the report, as a summary of the symposium’s outcomes.

We - PAUWES, the United Nations University as part of the Higher Education Consortium and the University of Tlemcen - have been working very hard over the past few months to make this event happen, but once more after a period of intense workload, I am convinced that it was more than worthwhile.

For the first time, all partners who are associated with the Institute had the opportunity not only to extend their knowledge on current international issues in their respective fields, water/energy, but indeed to network extensively. I was very glad to receive your input and your recommendations in your specific areas of expertise and also beyond, concerning the further development and institutionalization of PAUWES. As I can testify myself, our students were very excited to be part of this premiere and they were eager to receive your comments and suggestions on the posters they prepared. I am grateful for your positive remarks about our students, which were immensely motivating.

Since the start of the first Academic Year at PAUWES in October 2014, we have been able to successfully conduct the first semester of the Masters Programs, Engineering Track, and we are proud of having achieved a high level of internationality with regards to the composition of our academic staff. Students have already remarkably benefited from this blend. Furthermore, we are striving to open the Policy Track in the 2015/2016 Academic Year thus complementing our Institute’s academic portfolio.

I am personally thrilled with the prospect of starting off with the PAUWES Community of Practice in the aftermath of the event so that everyone can have easy access and can be involved, regardless of their institution or location. This platform of exchange, by means of its eLearning components in particular, will be an important milestone in incorporating our claim to excellence in a holistic way. The first step of this process has been accomplished by the wonderful announcements of future partnerships and collaborations. As many of you will be aware, we have been facing many challenges and we will continue to do so. If it was not for excellent cooperation and collaboration with its partners, PAUWES would not exist today and this will hold true for the future, too. Therefore, I encourage each and everyone of you to actively participate and give feedback. I am very much looking forward to seeing all of you again soon - including, but certainly not limited to - our online activities! Lastly, please accept my profound thanks.

Sincerely, Prof. Abdellatif Zerga, Director of PAUWES

June 2015 in Bonn, Germany

Executive SummaryThe Symposium was organized by PAUWES and the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) in cooperation with the University of Tlemcen. The symposium is part of a larger project entitled “Higher Education Cooperation with PAUWES” funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by GIZ and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The project is conducted by a Consortium of German Higher Education Institutions, represented by the Center for Development Research (ZEF) at the University of Bonn, the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), and the Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics (ITT) at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Germany.

The Symposium aimed to kick off or start activities of the PAUWES community of practice by providing a platform for stakeholders, actors and institutions interested or already engaged in the cooperation with PAUWES to discuss challenges, novel solutions and trends in Energy and Water in Africa in general and in the context of PAUWES activities. Furthermore, international experts and representatives of international institutions of development were able to use the event as a platform to learn about the institutional framework in German/African/Algerian science and technology cooperation, benefit from encounters with industry and education leaders and policy makers and identify synergies to increase impact with respect to education and research at PAUWES. The event is in line with activities at the GIZ and UNU to support the institutional development of PAUWES. Results and recommendations of the symposium as summarized below will be integrated into ongoing activities at GIZ such as the “Mapping and Stakeholders Analysis in Renewable Energy and Water” as well as activities related to the working packages on “Research and Institutional Development” conducted by the Consortium of German Higher Education Institutions. They will serve as valuable input for the future PAUWES research profile, research policy and strategy.

The Symposium comprised plenary and thematic sessions, discussions and debates, networking events and students’ posters presentations. The Water and Energy Keynotes were delivered by the Co-Founders of the Arab Water Council and the Sahara Solar Breeder Foundation, respectively. Notably, the energy plenary session included a presentation by the Director of the

Algerian Center for the Development of Renewable Energies (CDER). Topics of general interest addressed were Universities and Entrepreneurship, the Contribution of PAUWES students to the Agenda 2063 of the African Union on the first day, and PAUWES’ current state future prospects and the Community of Practice (CoP) in the morning of the second day. In the afternoon, there were parallel sessions on energy and water with two to three presentations each on the three thematic areas of (1) Teaching and Research, Capacity-Building, Exchange and Mobility, (2) Industry, Employment, Innovation and Technology Transfer and (3) Policies, Governance and Institutional Capacity-Building. The latter comprised of presentations by an African Energy Commission and a Global Environment Facility (GEF/the World Bank Group) representative.

Concrete outcomes in terms of cooperation took the form of propositions for collaboration formulated by the Director of CDER and the Director of Research from the Algerian National Superior High School for Hydraulics, Blida (ENSH). Some suggestions were calling for joint academic activities such as site visits, facility use, internships and laboratory work. The Vice Rector for International Relations of the University of Tlemcen in charge of university-industry linkage (B.L.E.U.) and the Director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI Tafna-Tlemcen) suggested making use of the offers/programs of their respective institutions in order to strengthen PAUWES students’ entrepreneurial skills. In addition, they wish to establish a close long-term cooperation with PAUWES and the Consortium in the field of entrepreneurial education at PAUWES. The African Energy Commission (AFREC) foresees in PAUWES graduates future resources for the implementation of the African Union Agenda 2063 and is looking forward to further discussions with PAUWES to set up a framework for collaboration with its institute. The representative of Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Program (RECP) proposed to jointly organize a research symposium in cooperation with the University of Tlemcen and PAUWES by the end of the year. In addition he proposed to jointly develop online courses on the topic of entrepreneurship to support distance learning and complement courses at PAUWES. DAAD is committed to make its African networks, like the Good Governance network, available to PAUWES. A database of prospective stakeholders and partners was also created during the event’s preparation. The Director of PAUWES announced that activities are planned with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research


p.5


(BMBF) as partner to strengthen the research profile at PAUWES in line with ongoing activities of current partners.

In terms of scientific and institutional recommendations, water management should not only be considered as a challenge but indeed as a source of job creation where any infrastructure investment should take into account public-private partnerships. It should be linked to basins and natural conditions rather than single nations. The interrelationship between energy and water should be integrated into research activities and project planning. Traditional approaches should be rethought by upscaling local knowledge with modern simulation techniques, which then contribute to a shared understanding of complex systems in a changing and developing world. In this framework, Consortium members and GIZ should provide access to data, results and best practices of their successful projects to gradually develop a database of case studies at PAUWES.

Programs to support the implementation of available policies should be developed at the continental level and innovative financing models as well as technology transfer (North-South and South-South) should be provided as prerequisite to achieve an African energy transition. Appropriate regulative and legislative frameworks need to be developed to support the development of renewable energy, taking into account that it should be boosted, not least because of climate change. Moreover, energy statistics should be introduced to support policymaking. The African Energy Commission is currently working on energy business and on a database for energy in Africa: www.afrec-energy.org.

Regarding further research, an emphasis should be placed on Pyrolysis cookstoves since they have many advantages, among others, the replacement of charcoal and fertilizer production. They induce agricultural yield and health status improvement as well as energy efficiency and conservation and renewable energy generation and utilization and thus contribute to sustainable development more broadly. Likewise, research into new materials and less energy-intensive water cleansing techniques could revolutionize Africa’s desalination industry. Outcomes of a recently conducted study introduced at the symposium show that dry cooling of concentrating solar power plants (CSP) is a technologically as well as economically feasible option when compared to wet cooling options. These findings should become part of PAUWES’ educational

activities. Research addressing the energy storage challenge of load-leveling i.e. matching supply with demand should be integrated into curricula at PAUWES. Currently, research in the field is aimed at improving rechargeable metal air batteries and reversible fuel cells. With regards to water, research needs to be carried out into modeling groundwater and matter flow and water management by hydro(geo)logical 3d models in order to improve drinking water supply and irrigation handling. Educational and research activities at PAUWES should be in line with Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as cross-sectoral, integrated approach, contrary to classical fragmented sectoral and top-down management styles. The management of water resources to meet the growing demand in quantity and quality, conflicts related to water, the management of upstream/downstream water dependencies, the question of irrigation as agricultural practice and the subsequent consequences for global water withdrawals are amongst other problems to be addressed by the academic program at PAUWES. Research needs to integrate technical, agricultural, socio-economical, environmental, and institutional approaches in an interdisciplinary way. Finally, data are needed from field and training regions of different land-use settings and climatic zones in Africa to support educational activities and research at PAUWES.

On the whole, the symposium served as a first step towards a discussion on interesting topics for research at PAUWES in line with activities related to define a research agenda described above.

As for African curriculum development, practical entrepreneurial skills should be integrated into courses to address the problem of unemployment. PAUWES students should therefore be enabled to establish a company in their country of origin or another African country. Generally speaking, they should consider themselves as agents of change in Africa and to act as a role model in the implementation of activities on the continent. Lastly, PAUWES should implement a social and professional networking platform to support further interaction among symposium participants and other stakeholders and partners. A stronger cooperation with media should be established to ensure media coverage during future events, too.

Overall, the event was very successful insofar as many institutions, organizations and individuals followed the invitation to attend the symposium in Tlemcen. Even those which were unfortunately unable to attend

p.6


expressed an interest in exploring paths for collaboration as well as the desire to be linked with PAUWES activities. The Community of Practice will play a major role in engaging new, interested actors. It includes, among others, Pan-African institutions and networks, such as the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) and the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL); UN bodies and international/regional organizations like the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RECREE), the United Nations Development Program capacity-development in sustainable water management (UNDP Cap-Net), the UNESCO Institute for Water Education, the United Nations University Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) and UN Habitat; and several German and International universities and research institutions such as the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy and the DESERTEC University Network (DUN e.V.).

Even if the attendance to the event was very satisfactory, we will have to improve on strategies to attract renowned experts such as Dr. Dolf Gielen (Director IRENA Innovation and Technology Center) and Dr. Reza Arkanian (Director UNU-FLORES), persons in charge of PAU at the African Union Commission on “Human Resources, Science and Technology” and high-level representatives of the African Union Commission on Energy and Water for the next symposium

The Symposium contributed to improve the visibility of PAUWES in the African and International scientific community in Water and Energy. The dissemination of the report, book of abstracts and multimedia contents (recorded lectures, interview, photos, etc.) derived from the symposium in the post-preparation process

(forthcoming) will greatly enhance the knowledge-sharing both within PAUWES and its partners and outside the Institute.

Despite presentations by the University of Tlemcen’s University-Industry Liaison Office, the local branch of the Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the German-Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, private sector involvement was not accomplished as planned. The contribution of private sector actors in the form of presentations or exhibitions was lacking but will be made up for in the framework of a company fair, planned in the context of the Higher Education Cooperation project.

In conclusion, with reference to the aforementioned outcomes and the participation of various actors, the symposium’s main objective has been achieved. The Symposium marked the start of activities of the PAUWES CoP. Participants at the symposium and the list of contacted experts and institutions build a strong basis for networking and the establishment of cooperation with PAUWES. Further activities to strengthen the interaction in line with the PAUWES CoP are the organization of events (webinars, open lectures, etc.) and the introduction of the social and professional exchange platform (planned for September 2015). Furthermore, a workshop with all (new) partners around the project to discuss the research agenda and PhD programs at PAUWES is planned for October 2015. An overview of further activities scheduled until the end of the year can be found in the symposium report and book of abstracts’ documents. The possibility to combine these events with other activities such as an exchange of staff, lectures or workshops will also be considered. In the medium term, curricula reviews will take place jointly with the African Union, the Consortium, and other German and Algerian partners.

1 PAUWESThe Pan African University Institute of Water and Energy Sciences (including Climate Change) (PAUWES) is one of the five hubs of the Pan African University (PAU) hosted at the University of Tlemcen in Algeria. The Pan African University (PAU) was initiated by the African Union Commission (AUC) in 2008 with the objective to promote higher education, science and technology on the African continent at a high academic level. The focus is on the development of post-graduates, PhD-candidates and applied research. The PAU is guided by the vision of an Africa managed by its own citizens and acting as a dynamic force in the international arena.

In partnership with the German government, the PAUWES institute offers graduate students access to leading academic research and the latest theoretical and hands-on training in areas vital to the future of African development – water, energy and the challenge of climate change. Supported by cooperation with other institutions of higher education and research on the continent and beyond, the institute also benefits from a professional network of public, private and civil society actors. PAUWES is part of a broad, integrated system of higher education institutions across the African continent which include the PAU institute on the topic of “Basic Sciences, Technology and Innovation” institute in Kenya, the PAU institute on the topic of: “Life and Earth Sciences, including Health and Agriculture” in Nigeria, the PAU institute on the topic of “Governance, Humanities and Social Sciences” in Cameroon and the PAU institute on the topic of “Space Sciences” in South Africa.

2 Symposium

2.1 ContextThe Symposium has been organized by PAUWES and the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) in cooperation with the University of Tlemcen. The symposium is part of a larger project entitled “Higher Education cooperation with PAUWES” funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development through Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The project is conducted by a consortium of German Higher Education Institutions, represented by the Center for Development Research (ZEF) at the University of Bonn in Germany, UNU-EHS, and the Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics (ITT) at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences.

2.2 Objective and GoalsThe Symposium aimed to bring stakeholders interested in cooperating with PAUWES together to discuss state of the art solutions for challenges and trends in energy and water in Africa in the frame of PAUWES’ activities. The symposium provided a platform for discussing challenges, available solutions, and trends in Water and Energy in Africa with international experts and representatives of international institutions of development cooperation. Moreover, the event provided opportunities to learn about the institutional framework in German/African/Algerian science and technology cooperation. Participants benefited from encounters with individuals from the industrial sector, educational leaders and policy makers; all working together to identify synergies to increase activity impact.

The symposium is in line with activities at the GIZ to support the institutional development of PAUWES. Results and recommendations from the symposium will be integrated into ongoing activities and future PAUWES research, policy and strategy decisions, such as, a “Mapping and Stakeholders Analysis in Renewable Energy and Water.”

The symposium is the first event to kickoff of the PAUWES community of practice. Further activities such as workshop, webinars, open lectures, etc. are planned as follow up of the symposium to support the networking, collaboration and knowledge exchange within the PAUWES community of practice.

2.3 AudienceThe audience was made up of key stakeholders in the fields of Energy and Water from all over Europe, Africa and beyond. Participants included program/project managers, heads of research labs, renewable energy and water experts and engineers, directors, lecturers and researchers from universities and scientific institutions, as well as, policymakers, representatives from international development cooperation agencies, and stakeholders from both the private sector and industry.

2.4 Event Profile The symposium was hosted at the Abou Bekr Belkaid University of Tlemcen, Algeria and lasted two days, May 6th – 7th, 2015. It consisted of plenary and thematic sessions, discussions and debates, networking events and poster presentations.

3 Day 1: State of the Art – Challenges and

Trends in Energy and Water in AfricaThe first day of the symposium consisted of seven sessions, starting with an opening session and welcoming addresses by representatives from University of Tlemcen, PAUWES, donors (GIZ, DAAD) and higher education consortium supporting PAUWES. Thereafter, there were two keynote speeches delivered by experts in Energy/Water sector respectively, followed by students’ posters presentations and plenary sessions on Energy/Water. The afternoon comprised a session dealing with “Universities and Entrepreneurship” having representatives from both the innovation and technology transfer office/unit at the university Tlemcen and the regional chamber of industry and commerce. Afterward, PAUWES’ student representatives were interviewed on their contributions to the Agenda 2063 of the African Union. The day concluded with a wrap-up session followed by a speakers’ gala dinner offered by the GIZ.

3.1 Opening Session and Welcoming AddressesThe opening session comprised of an introduction by the Master of Ceremony, Dr. Abbes Sebihi, senior adviser for PAUWES at GIZ office in Algeria and subsequent welcoming addresses by Dr. Amazigh Dib, Vice-Rector of International Relations, University of Tlemcen on behalf of the Rector of the University of Tlemcen Prof. Noureddine Ghouali; Prof. Abdellatif Zerga, Director at PAUWES; Charlotte Siegerstetter, PAUWES program manager at GIZ in Algeria; Lars Gerold, Head of Section “Structural Programs for Higher Education” at DAAD. The respective directors of the consortium “Higher Education Cooperation with PAUWES,” unfortunately could not attend in person however were present remotely. Those directors who closed the welcoming address via video were, Prof. Jakob Rhyner, Director of UNU-EHS and Vice Rector United Nations University in Europe (UNU-ViE), Prof. Christian Borgemeister, Director at ZEF, and Prof. Lars Ribbe Director at ITT.

3.2 KeynotesThe first keynote speech, entitled “Water Resources, Challenges and Strategies” was given by Prof. Ahmed Kettab, Co-Founder and Member of the Arab Water Council and Vice-President of the Mediterranean Network of Schools and Universities of Engineers (RMEI). One of the key messages of his presentation was that water should be at the core of sustainable development, good governance, education and research. Water should also be considered as source for job creation. Prof. Kettab explained that there is a worldwide natural inequality in the distribution of water sources, which represents a challenge to attain the equity between poor and rich countries. The problem can be modeled trough the equation Y=AX+B with x/y as an analogy for rich/poor countries considering that the poor countries do not have water, and parameters a/b representing variables such as cooperation, information and research activities. He encouraged PAUWES to pursue research in order to solve the aforementioned equation .He concluded the keynote with the remark that any country’s’ biggest asset is its people not its natural resources. Success and development depends on education and research.

The second keynote speech, “Trends and Challenges of Sustainable Energy and Water Research in North Africa: Sahara Solar Breeder concerns at the intersection of water/energy” was given by Prof. Amine Stambouli, Co-Founder of the Sahara Solar Breeder Foundation. He presented the Sahara Solar Breeders (SSB) project, which combines the potential of sun in the Sahara desert and Photo Voltaic (PV) to tackle the energy problem, water scarcity and global warming. In comparison to DESERTEC Foundation’s project, he explained that SBB plans to use the energy produced locally in Algeria. Africa while DESERTEC intends to export the solar energy produced in North Africa to Europe. The pilot project conducted at the University of Science and Technology Oran in cooperation with six universities in Japan has the potential to be extended to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as well

as, other parts of Africa in the future. He emphasized that the topic of energy and water are interlinked. Prof. Stambouli recommended the importance of analyzing energy/water demand with respect to economic and social growth. The energy/water markets require an institutional regulatory system. He also highlighted that local, global, regional cooperation is crucial to address the challenges of energy in Africa.

3.3 Plenary Session on Water The Water plenary session, chaired by Prof. Brahim Cherki, member of the PAUWES Board and Professor at the University of Tlemcen, consisted of two presentations. Dr. Bernhard Tischbein, Senior Researcher at ZEF, addressed the topic of “Water (in Africa): Challenges/Trends-Options-Approaches,” and Prof. Suhair Saad, short-term lecturer at PAUWES and Professor at University of Sudan of Science and Technology, delivered a talk on “Challenges of Water and Sanitation in Sudan.”


p.13


Dr. Tischbein started his presentation with the challenges related to water, trends and drivers. He introduced “Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)” as approach to address the challenges of water management and also addressed the topic of wastewater management and irrigation. Prof. Saad gave an overview of water resources and their usages in Sudan. She also presented problems related to drinking water and sanitation and introduced shortly the “Millenium” dam project in Sudan. She concluded her presentation with general challenges related to water.

The session outcomes included remaining open questions of wastewater reuse purification versus substitution of water, which is currently used for other purposes. Several ideas were derived from the

discussion, such as sequential water use from higher-quality upstream to lower quality downstream, looking beyond reservoirs upstream by employing hydrological modeling with different types of land use as a cost-effective intervention measure for the problem of soil erosion, reducing the surface in periods of high-intensity rain in order to create a win-win situation regarding both erosion and stock reserve in periods of drought by an enlarged sub-surface. Presenters agreed that there is a need to rethink traditional approaches and concepts of water management by up scaling local knowledge combined with modern simulation and modeling techniques to test a small-scale solution on large scale, water management should to be linked to basins and natural conditions rather than single nations.

3.4 Plenary Session on Energy The energy plenary session chaired by Prof. Amine Stambouli discussed three different subjects related to the topic. The presentations were as follows: “Renewable Energy in Algeria: Present situation and projection” delivered by Prof. Noureddine Yassaa, Director of the Centre for Development of Renewable Energies (CDER), “Concentrating solar power: a feasible option for MENA region” delivered by Dr. Eng. Louy Qoaider, Head of Energy Engineering Department at German Jordanian University, and “Renewable Energy Technologies, particularly, grid-scale energy storage and conversion” delivered by Dr. Justus Masa, Senior Researcher at Ruhr University Bochum and African Good Governance Network Fellow.

Prof. Yassaa presented the mission, vision, organization, activities and project of CDER as the think tank of the Algerian Government on renewable energy. He gave an overview of Algeria’s assets and challenges with regards to renewable energy and presented Algerian government initiatives, projects and programs on renewable energy. Dr. Qoaider presentation focused on Concentrating Solar Power (CSP), its importance for power in the MENA region, its technical and economic feasibility, as well as its market perspectives. Dr. Masa introduced the energy situation in Uganda and available options for increasing supply. He presented electrochemical storage and conversion methods consisting of fuel cells, super-capacitors, and liquid-metal batteries as suitable solutions for stationary applications. He also presented

his research activities in the area on a reversible fuel cell system (utterly green energy cycle; green production of H2), rechargeable metal-air batteries, and strategic minerals as drivers of future energy markets.

An outcome of the session, was an agreement by all experts that there is a need for ‘in-house’ African capacity-building in order to ensure sustainability and uphold the principles of energy justice which claims universal access to energy for all. Education and research was cited as key factors to achieve this goal. There has been a gradual shift in policy for CSP due to better knowledge and awareness of their high potential. In general, technologies are becoming more and more affordable, for example by using everyday materials for water-splitting catalysts. Commercial models are expected soon, as in the case of the liquid metal battery. There is a need for more global and international communication to address energy challenges in Africa. Economy and technology should be in line with sustainable development. Experts in the session acknowledged that even if education and research provide easier or earlier access than the political discussions, appropriated policies are very important for the implementation of activities.

Lastly, Prof. Yassaa invited PAUWES students to visit the CDER’s sites and technical facilities for educational activities. Furthermore, he emphasizes the willingness to collaborate with PAUWES and facilitate access to CDER’s platforms and networks.

3.5 Universities and Entrepreneurship

The session “Universities and Entrepreneurship” was chaired by Dr. Erick Gankam Tambo, Associate Academic Officer at UNU-EHS and consisted of two presentations. Dr. Amazigh Dib, Vice-Rector of International Relations presentation presented the “B.L.E.U.-Bureau de Liaison Entreprises Université/University Office for University Industry Collaboration” and Mr. Reda Allal, Director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Tlemcen presented the “Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Tafna Tlemcen.”

Dr. Dib started his presentation with an overview of staff and facilities, research labs and projects at the university Tlemcen. He continued with an introduction of BLEU and presented ongoing projects and initiatives such as: the establishment of a “Fab’ lab” with 3-D printing facilities for rapid prototyping and the establishment of a center for entrepreneurship acting as an incubator to support

students with their own paths to entrepreneurship. Also mentioned were different activities such as the organizing of University-Industry Forums as well as job and training fairs, the deployment of an online internships and job platform, the organizing of student competitions and the Team Innovation Project (T.I.P.).

Mr. Allal presented activities at CCI specially for students/youths to promote entrepreneurship, such as the the “Injaz” bootcamp, conferences, seminars, workshops on leadership, innovation and creativity, business model games and competitions, services and support for business plan development, elevator pitch exercises, master class for young entrepreneurs, global entrepreneurship week, and the “Mowgli” mentoring program.

Dr. Dib made an appeal to PAUWES students to make use of opportunities already available in Tlemcen particularly at BLEU. Both presenters agreed that the way forward to ensure employability in Africa is to equip students with a package of technical and soft skills to become entrepreneurs. PAUWES’ students should be able at the end of their study to establish a company in their country of origin or in other African countries. Dr. Tambo highlighted that the GIZ and the consortium of German partners have planned many activities around the topics “technology transfer and entrepreneurship.” All panelists agreed that a close cooperation between actors involved in activities related to entrepreneurship and technology transfer is important to make best use of existing potential and synergies. Furthermore, the cooperation will be of benefit to everyone.

3.6 Contribution of PAUWES students to the Agenda 2063 of the African Union

The session on contribution of PAUWES students to the Agenda 2063 of the African Union took place in the form of an interview with the elected student representatives Ms. Birindu Anne Mogoi (Water Program) and Mr. Paul Nduhuura (Energy Program) moderated by Ms. Andrea Kick, Consultant for Student Affairs at GIZ.

Both student representatives were interviewed by means of the following questions: What is your personal/

professional background? What are the challenges to be

tackled in your field? Why this program? What has been your experience so far? What are your plans for the future?


p.15


Both representatives agreed that their guiding principle by coming to Tlemcen was to live up to the concept of “Ask what you can do for Africa!” They continue to receive a very warm welcome in Tlemcen and they are very appreciative of Algerian culture, the local population, democratic structures of PAUWES, and the constant support of the Director of the Institute. Exposure to international professors has broadened their horizons and makes them think in a different way. The variety in their backgrounds and personal diversity allows them to adapt easily to the changing circumstances they are now facing and will face in the future. They will continue to make the best use of opportunities provided by PAUWES and are committed to working together with the Director of the Institute to support upcoming students. They considered themselves as agents of change in Africa and will try the best to act as role models in the implementation of activities within Africa. Not the least, the students wished to express their high esteem to the curriculum developers and their gratitude for the generous scholarship they have been granted, without which the majority of current students would not have been able to attend PAUWES.

3.7 Wrap-UpThe Wrap-Up session concluded first day of the symposium with an overview of the sessions by chairs and a summary of speakers’ presentations. Students made a very good impression on the symposium attendees. The Director of CDER reiterated his invitation and offered to facilitate access to various Algerian Ministry and platforms dealing on the topic of Energy. He is open towards cooperating in different areas and looks forward to joint activities. Likewise, Dr. Gilbert Nzobadila, senior researcher and representative of the African Energy Commission (AFREC) highlighted the fact that AFREC will be the first beneficiaries of PAUWES’ activities and he looks forward to a closer cooperation between PAUWES and AFREC. PAUWES as a flagship project of the African Union should act as a pioneer in education and research in Africa. In addition to the support for the implementation of the African Union’s vision on energy and water, PAUWES should support other African universities working in the area of Energy and Water e.g. curricula development, etc. Having seen the Director’s and students’ enthusiasm and commitment, there was a sense of overall confidence that PAUWES, with the support of German institutions and its other partners, will achieve its objectives.

4 Day 2 – Challenges and innovative solutionsThe second day of the symposium was dedicated to workshops organized into three main thematic- areas: (1) Teaching, Research, Capacity-Building, Exchange and Mobility; (2) Industry, Employment, Innovation and Technology Transfer; (3) Policies, Governance and Institutional Capacity-Building, which were held as parallel sessions water/energy. An introductory session dealing with “Curriculum development, building and strengthening a Community of Practice at PAUWES” preceded the workshops. Closing the second day of the symposium, concluding sessions were held, which consisted of a workshop’s summary and roundtable discussion.

4.1 PAUWES: Current State, Future Prospects and Community of PracticeThe introductory session was moderated by Mr. Lars Gerold with presentations on “Curriculum Development at PAUWES,” by Prof. Abdallah Khellaf, Member of PAUWES Board, Senior Scientist and Head of Division at CDER and “Building and Strengthening a Community of Practice (CoP) at PAUWES” by Dr. Erick Gankam Tambo, Associate Academic Officer at UNU-EHS.

Prof. Khellaf presented steps towards the process in developing the curriculum at PAUWES, which took one and half years starting in October 2012 until March 2013. The developed curriculum meets criteria of the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education and the African Union. The development process went through the appointment of determination of module coordinators, the harmonization of content, the development and finalization of modules and course descriptions, as well as the validation of the various curricula. Prof. Khellaf gave an overview of modules/courses of the respective Water and Energy Master of Science Programs. Dr. Tambo started his talk with a short presentation of the United

Nations University and the UNU-EHS contribution to the project “Higher education cooperation with PAUWES.” He introduced afterward the general concept of a Community of Practice and presented the several steps to build a successful CoP. With regards to PAUWES, the CoP aims to connect actors and stakeholders involved in PAUWES activities, support the sharing of information and experiences, enable dialogue, stimulate learning, create and find solutions for common problems, support the collaborative processes between individuals and groups, organize, and manage future alumnus and their interactions with PAUWES. He highlighted that the symposium is the first event to kickoff the PAUWES community of practice. He concluded with an overview of the next steps with the regard to the PAUWES CoP: the design, development and roll out (September 2015) of a social and professional networking platform to support virtual/online activities/processes, the organization of events such as webinars, workshops, open lectures etc. as follow up of the symposium to nurture and strengthen the development of the PAUWES CoP.

4.2 Teaching & Research, Capacity-Building, Exchange and Mobility

4.2.1 EnergyThe first parallel session in energy was chaired by Prof. Chabik Seladji, Member of the PAUWES Board and Professor at the University of Tlemcen and consisted of three presentations. The first presentation was on “Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Program (RECP) Strategy” delivered by Mr. Niklas Hayek, Project Manager at the European Energy Initiative Partnership Dialogue Facility (EUEI-PDF), the second on “Energy Engineering in Jordan - State of the Art and Trends” delivered by Dr. Eng. Qoaider, and the last on “Capacity-building towards sustainable energy engineering” delivered by Prof. Ramayya Venkata, Short-term

lecturer at PAUWES and Professor at Jimma University, Ethiopia.

Mr. Hayek presented the Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Program (RECP) project aiming to support the development of renewable energy markets in Africa. The project focuses on four action areas: (1) Technology, Innovation (2) Capacity-Development, (3) Applied Research and (4) Vocational/Higher Education. He concluded his presentation with possibilities/propositions for collaboration with PAUWES such as the joint development of online courses on the topic


p.17


of entrepreneurship to support distance learning and complement courses at PAUWES and the organization of a research symposium in energy jointly with University of Tlemcen at the end of 2015. Dr. Qoaider gave an insight into general trends in energy in Jordan. Afterwards he presented activities and challenges at the Energy Engineering Department of the German Jordanian University (GJU).

Prof. Venkata started his presentation with general challenges facing institutions of higher education in Africa, such as the lack of highly qualified staff, high staff turnover, brain drain, and the reliance on expatriate staff .He presented the following measures/solutions to

address the aforementioned problems: staff and student mobility, innovative use of high skilled diaspora, North-South-South cooperation and intra-university initiatives, networking and use of e-collaborative platforms. He also presented some grant schemes and initiatives addressing the challenges such as Entreprenariat, Ressources, Management, Innovation, Technology (ERMIT Intra) within the African/Carribean/Pacific (ACP) Mobility Project funded by the European Commission, the ACP Mundus, the ACP-EU Cooperation Program in Science and Technology, and the EU-AU Joint strategy (TUNING AFRICA) pilot project. He proposed to shift from conventional (discipline-based) to competency-based education.

4.2.2 Water The first parallel session in water was chaired by Prof. Suhair Saad and consisted of two presentations. “Water Management- Needs/Requirements -tools –integration” delivered by Dr. Bernhard Tischbein and “Challenges of Teaching and Research in the field of IWRM” delivered by Prof. Peter Wycisk, Professor at the Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and Advisor at DAAD for PAUWES.

Dr. Tischbein began his presentation with on overview of challenges related to water, trends and drivers. He presented the concept of “Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM)” and highlighted that it is a general concept, which should be customized according to specific context. He addressed the question of irrigation as agricultural practice and the subsequent consequences for global water withdrawals. Prof. Wycisk started his presentation with a list of challenges related to water such as water resources management and climate change, water governance, etc. He mentioned that one of the most urgent challenges is the management of water resources to meet growing demand in quantity and quality. He presented 3D Spatial Modeling as future-oriented tools for the conceptual analysis of problems related to water. He argued that hydro(geo)logical 3d models bring clarity and consensus to challenging issues by visualizing and discussing alternatives and future development. He highlighted that adequate information and data from test fields and different land-use settings as well as from different climatic zones in Africa are needed to support educational activities at PAUWES.

Experts agreed that model-based decision making contribute to a shared understanding of complex systems in a changing and developing world. A proposal was put forward that consortium members and GIZ should provide access to data, results and best practices of their successful projects with the aim to gradually develop a database of case-studies at PAUWES. Futhermore, an appeal was made to PAUWES’ students to become engaged in awareness-raising within their own communities with regards to poor sanitation conditions, contaminated water and common diseases.

4.3 Parallel Sessions Industry, Employment, Innovation and Technology Transfer

4.2.1 EnergyThe second parallel session on Energy was chaired by Prof. Seladji, and consisted of two presentations: “Hydate Plug Prevention Using Rhamnolipids-Experimental Developments in Hydrates Anti-Agglomeration” delivered by Prof. Latifa Negadi, Senior Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Tlemcen, and “Energizing Green Economy Development through Innovation for Technology Transfer - A Case Study” delivered by Prof. Venkata.

Prof. Negadi’s contribution dealt with the topics of gas hydrates: their definition, composition, significance, occurrence and conditions for existence, drilling problems, experimental procedures and outcomes

related to them. Prof. Venkata gave insight into the impact of a pyrolysis cookstove co-producing biochar in the framework of Ethiopia’s climate-resilient green economy strategy. He presented the motivation to invest in research related to pyrolysis, such as the improvement of agricultural yield and soil fertility, the recycling of residues, the generation and utilization of Renewable Energy, etc. He concluded his presentation with an overview of benefits of pyrolysis, among others the replacement of charcoal, carbon-negative route for domestic sequestration, the agri/agro industry, biochar-based fertilizer production. All these benefits are contributing to sustainable development more broadly.

4.3.2 WaterThe second parallel session on water consisted of three presentations, and was chaired by Mr. Andrew Chilombo, Program Associate Global Environment Facility (GEF)/World Bank and African Good Governance Network Fellow. The first presentation on “Water Markets and Business Opportunities – Water Management Germany” was delivered by Ms. Rebekka Hilz, Head of Export and SME Promotion, German-Algerian Chamber of Commerce (AHK), the second on “Determination of the Brackish Water and the Desalination Sea Water in Algeria using the Membrane Technology” delivered by Prof. Drahmani Benamar, Senior Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Tlemcen and the third on “Sustainable Development Policy for Resilient Cities” delivered by Ms. Ellen Wasylina, President and Founder, International Geostrategic Maritime Observatory (IGMO).

Ms. Hilz gave an overview of the Global water situation and the particular case of Germany. Afterward, she introduced the German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (DWA), the Umbrella brand German Water Partnership (GWP) and the “Auslandshandelskammer (AHK)” as important actors in the field of Water in Germany. The GWP pools the experience, know-how and skills of the German water sector and the AHK consists of official representation of the German industry and commerce as well as service providers and companies. Prof. Drahmani presented the water resources situation in Algeria and activities related to desalination of seawater using membrane technology. His contribution also dealt on the negative effects of water pumping, methods of measurement and monitoring by means of physical-chemical analyses

and IMS software calculations. He concluded with an overview of the following steps of the reverse osmosis process with membrane technology: water recuperation, pre-treatment, post-treatment/normalization to ensure quality for drinking water use. Ms. Wasylina presented several approaches of sustainable development policies for resilient cities. Using the example of several cities worldwide, she presented best practices with regards to recycling, waste management, new manufacturing models and clean vehicles as alternative transport models.

All experts agreed that a good legislative and regulative framework should be present to support the development of Energy. Research on renewable energies should be boosted, not least because of climate change. Considerations and investment in infrastructures should adopt public private partnerships models.

4.3 4.4 Parallel Sessions Policies, Governance and Institutional Capacity-Building

4.2.1 EnergyThe third parallel session on Energy chaired by Dr. Justus Masa comprised three presentations on “Energy – Case of Renewables” delivered by Prof. Abdallah Khellaf, “German ‘Energiewende’/ Export initiative – ‘Renewables Made in Germany” delivered by Ms. Rebekka Hilz and “Can Climate Change Accelerate the Energy Transition in Africa?” delivered by Dr. Gilbert Nzobadila, Senior Consultant at the African Energy Commission (AFREC).

Prof. Khellaf gave a short introduction to energy, their energy sources and types and application in context of renewable energy. He introduced some renewable energy activities and projects in Algeria, such as the solar electrification program of the Algerian government, the wind farm of “Adrar” and the National Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency 2015-2030 programs. Ms. Hilz presented the German Energy transition program:“Energiewende” and the export initiative “renewable made in Germany.” She presented the reasons, aims, target areas, main pillars, milestones and instruments offered by the export initiative. She also presented the macroeconomic effects and benefits of the German energy transition program such as job creation in the German green tech and renewables sectors. Dr. Nzobadila gave an overview on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC)/Groupe of International Experts of Climate Evolution (GIEC))’s statements and facts showing the need for an ‘energy transition’ in Africa. He gave an overview of the energy situation in Africa highlighting that the continent has sufficient resources to assure its development. He presented the solar and hydroelectric potential, favoring an energy transition in Africa towards renewable resources. He stated that policies, national renewable energy plans and programs have been adopted and institutions, such as rural electrification agencies have been created to support the energy transition in Africa. The most important measure is the feed-in tariff, so far adopted in South Africa, Kenya and Uganda. He presented renewable initiatives and programs at the continental levels such as PIDA (Program of Infrastructure development in Africa), adopted in Addis Ababa in January 2012, PAEE (Africa-EU Energy Partnership), Lisbon 2007, the PowerAfrica plan from the US introduced by President Obama, and the Foundation for the electrification of Africa, proposed by Jean-Louis Borloo. He concluded his presentation with the statement that climate change can indeed boost an African Energy transition but there is need for the implementation of available policies at the continental levels. Innovative financing models and funding for big projects are needed to support the energy transition in Africa. Research, capacity-building and technology transfer (North-South and South-South) are very important to achieve the energy transition in Africa.

4.4.2 Water The third parallel session on Water chaired by Dr. Bernhard Tischbein consisted of two presentations on “Erosion – Transport solid and their environmental impacts in Northern Algeria” delivered by Prof. Benina Touaibia, Director of Research, National Superior High School for Hydraulics (ENSH) and on “Energy, Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability within the Global Environment Facility” delivered by Mr. Andrew Chilombo, Program Associate Global Environment Facility (GEF)/World Bank and African Good Governance Network Fellow.

Prof Touaibia commenced her contribution with an introduction of the ENSH, followed by a presentation of departments working on the topic of water, their specialization, as well as the equipment and facilities available for research on water at ENSH. She continued her presentation with the topics of erosion and its environmental impacts, citing Algeria as an example. She also thematized the need for management models to preserve soil and water to fight erosion effects such as destruction/scouring of wadi, banks and landslides, and bed load transport. She concluded her presentation with a summary of

p.20


erosion consequences such as soil losses, clogging soil, rising of riverbeds, deposition of sediment on the road, coasts and harbors, damages on hydrometric stations, deterioration of hydraulic infrastructures (dams), and silting of dams as serious problems in Algeria. Mr. Chilombo started his presentation discussing challenges related to energy, climate and environmental sustainability in Africa. He introduced afterward the Global Environment Facility (GEF) program at the World Bank, which is a partnership for international cooperation established in 1991. 183 countries work together in the frame of GEF with international institutions, civil society organizations and the private sector to address global environmental issues. GEF focal areas are: biodiversity, climate change, chemicals and waste, land degradation, international waters, sustainable management of forest and REDD + .The program priorities are: creating/strengthening multi-stakeholder platforms, scaling-up integrated approaches, monitoring and assessment of global environmental benefits and agro-ecosystem

resilience. Over the years the GEF has become a financial mechanism to programs, such as: the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), and the Minamata Convention on Mercury.

The discussion focused on mechanisms and small-grants programs provided in the frame of GEF for capacity building as a potential source of funding for activities at PAUWES. Mr. Chilombo argued that GEF primary interlocutors are governments. He recommended PAUWES to start discussions with the African Union and the governments of the countries where students are coming from for negotiation with the Word bank. Prof. Touaibia invited PAUWES’ students to visit ENSH. She is open for any kind of cooperation with PAUWES and looks forward to the next activities.

4.5 Roundtable Discussion - Workshop SummaryMr. Lars Gerold moderated the first part of the symposium’s concluding roundtable session. All session chairs provided a summary of their respective presentations. The following statements as well as recommendations are derived from the session’s discussion. The water management and industry, as well as the energy transformation in Germany can be considered as best-practice examples, where it has been shown that economic growth with creation of jobs and sustainable development are possible. It was noted that PAUWES’ curricula reflect current challenges in Africa in the field of water and energy. The process of reviewing the curricula is ongoing and evaluation is planned for June 2016, possibly in cooperation with the University of Tlemcen and in the framework of the TUNING Africa program. Furthermore, it was pointed out that there is a wish and need of all actors present at the symposium to continue discussion, interaction and cooperation with PAUWES. The social and professional networking platform under development is therefore essential to support the CoP and outreach activities for PAUWES. The cooperation between PAUWES and its different partners in Africa, Germany and Europe will benefit from open access to data and potentially funding in the long term. Finally, panelists appreciated open discussions between students, practitioners and policy-makers at the symposium.

Moving to the second part of the session, the Director of PAUWES, Prof. Zerga, first of all expressed his appreciation for the German contribution to the success

of PAUWES. There was an overall confidence that new partners will be integrated and will soon start to make a considerable impact on PAUWES. In this context, it was highlighted that all actions undertaken by the Higher Education Consortium with the support by DAAD target PAUWES’ students and further information about post-PAUWES opportunities will be given closer to students’ graduation date. Various actions and activities implemented by the Consortium are underway. They are generally being decided on jointly with PAUWES, DAAD and GIZ.

Prof. Zerga informed symposium participants that a ‘Twitter’ channel has been settled by Africa Practice, a communication agency working with PAUWES, to support the interaction with a broader audience during the event. An evaluation strategy should be developed to assess students’ performance during future conferences and symposium, e.g. in the form of a report based on their notes and a prize for the best poster could be awarded to foster the spirit of competitiveness. Participants expressed the wish to have student contact details.

Concerning PAUWES further institutional development, it was discussed to put forward a proposal to the Institute Board to open PhD programs for immediate transition in 2016. The organization of the supervision of students’ master theses without long-term academic staff represents a big challenge to be addressed soon by the Institute. PAUWES has the vision to see its students


p.21


win international prizes in the future. The Director encouraged students to not wait for others to push them but take initiative themselves. The Director underlined the great impact of the symposium for students in terms of exposure, knowledge acquisition and exchanges with participants. One of the students’ representatives reiterated the appreciation of the opportunity provided by the symposium to not only participate but to also acquire other skills such as public speaking and posters preparation. Furthermore, students were impressed by generous offers extended to them by numerous institutions throughout the symposium. Students were also appreciative of the network opportunity and will keep in touch with participants of the symposium. Students were appealed to by the experts at the symposium to

excel and thrive by making the most of the opportunities available to them.

Shortly thereafter, Prof. Zerga made the closing remarks. He was particularly appreciative of AFREC’s outlook on a future cooperation as PAUWES strives to support and implement the African Union vision 2063 on energy and water. The Institute has made big steps thanks the engagement of the African Union as well as German, Algerian and other partners. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) will join the cooperation soon and is expected to provide valuable input in terms of the research.

The symposium was concluded with the distribution of certificates to all experts and participants.

5 Outcomes and RecommendationsConcrete outcomes in terms of cooperation took the form of propositions for collaboration formulated by the Director of CDER and the Director of Research from the Algerian National Superior High School for Hydraulics, Blida (ENSH). Some suggestions were calling for joint academic activities such as site visits, facility use, internships and laboratory work. The Vice Rector for International Relations of the University of Tlemcen in charge of university-industry linkage (B.L.E.U.) and the Director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI Tafna-Tlemcen) suggested making use of the offers/programs of their respective institutions in order to strengthen PAUWES students’ entrepreneurial skills. In addition, they wish to establish a close long-term cooperation with PAUWES and the Consortium in the field of entrepreneurial education at PAUWES. The African Energy Commission (AFREC) foresees in PAUWES graduates future resources for the implementation of the African Union Agenda 2063 and is looking forward to further discussions with PAUWES to set up a framework for collaboration with its institute. The representative of Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Program (RECP) proposed to jointly organize a research symposium in cooperation with the University of Tlemcen and PAUWES by the end of the year. In addition he proposed to jointly develop online courses on the topic of entrepreneurship to support distance learning and complement courses at PAUWES. DAAD is committed to make its African networks, like the Good Governance network, available to PAUWES. A database of prospective stakeholders and partners was also created during the event’s preparation. The Director of PAUWES announced that activities are planned with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as partner to strengthen the research profile

at PAUWES in line with ongoing activities of current partners.

In terms of scientific and institutional recommendations, water management should not only be considered as a challenge but indeed as a source of job creation where any infrastructure investment should take into account public-private partnerships. It should be linked to basins and natural conditions rather than single nations. The interrelationship between energy and water should be integrated into research activities and project planning. Traditional approaches should be rethought by upscaling local knowledge with modern simulation techniques, which then contribute to a shared understanding of complex systems in a changing and developing world. In this framework, Consortium members and GIZ should provide access to data, results and best practices of their successful projects to gradually develop a database of case studies at PAUWES.

Programs to support the implementation of available policies should be developed at the continental level and innovative financing models as well as technology transfer (North-South and South-South) should be provided as prerequisite to achieve an African energy transition. Appropriate regulative and legislative frameworks need to be developed to support the development of renewable energy, taking into account that it should be boosted, not least because of climate change. Moreover, energy statistics should be introduced to support policymaking. The African Energy Commission is currently working on energy business and on a database for energy in Africa: www.afrec-energy.org.

Regarding further research, an emphasis should be placed on Pyrolysis cookstoves since they have many advantages, among others, the replacement of charcoal and fertilizer production. They induce agricultural yield and health status improvement as well as energy efficiency and conservation and renewable energy generation and utilization and thus contribute to sustainable development more broadly. Likewise, research into new materials and less energy-intensive water cleansing techniques could revolutionize Africa’s desalination industry. Outcomes of a recently conducted study introduced at the symposium show that dry cooling of concentrating solar power plants (CSP) is a technologically as well as economically feasible option when compared to wet cooling options. These findings should become part of PAUWES’ educational activities. Research addressing the energy storage challenge of load-leveling i.e. matching supply with demand should be integrated into curricula at PAUWES. Currently, research in the field is aimed at improving rechargeable metal air batteries and reversible fuel cells. With regards to water, research needs to be carried out into modeling groundwater and matter flow and water management by hydro(geo)logical 3d models in order to improve drinking water supply and irrigation handling. Educational and research activities at PAUWES should be in line with Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as cross-sectoral, integrated approach, contrary to classical fragmented sectoral and top-down management styles. The management of water resources to meet the growing demand in quantity

and quality, conflicts related to water, the management of upstream/downstream water dependencies, the question of irrigation as agricultural practice and the subsequent consequences for global water withdrawals are amongst other problems to be addressed by the academic program at PAUWES. Research needs to integrate technical, agricultural, socio-economical, environmental, and institutional approaches in an interdisciplinary way. Finally, data are needed from field and training regions of different land-use settings and climatic zones in Africa to support educational activities and research at PAUWES.

On the whole, the symposium served as a first step towards a discussion on interesting topics for research at PAUWES in line with activities related to define a research agenda described above.

As for African curriculum development, practical entrepreneurial skills should be integrated into courses to address the problem of unemployment. PAUWES students should therefore be enabled to establish a company in their country of origin or another African country. Generally speaking, they should consider themselves as agents of change in Africa and to act as a role model in the implementation of activities on the continent. Lastly, PAUWES should implement a social and professional networking platform to support further interaction among symposium participants and other stakeholders and partners. A stronger cooperation with media should be established to ensure media coverage during future events, too.

6 Next steps Further activities to strengthen the interaction in line with the PAUWES CoP are the organization of events (webinars, open lectures, etc.) and the introduction of the social and professional exchange platform (planned for September 2015). The process of consolidation of information for e.g. project and administration contacts which has already started will be continued. A summer school and laboratory exercises organized by ZEF and ITT in Germany are scheduled for July. A workshop on PhD programs is planned for September/October. In addition, a winter school on ÍWRM is planned in Tlemcen for November. Furthermore, a workshop with all (new) partners around the project to discuss the research agenda and PhD programs at PAUWES is planned for October 2015. The possibility to combine these events with other activities such as an exchange of staff, lectures or workshops will also be considered. In the

medium term, curricula reviews will take place jointly with the African Union, the Consortium, and German and Algerian partners.
