2 Workshop Programme

Objective of the Workshop

The objective of the workshop is to provide a working basis among the partners of MAGHRENOV project and other selected actors in EU and MPC.

The workshop is oriented to generate results in:

• Agreeing to the best concept for EU-MPC collaboration to facilitate capacity-building in MPCs. Actions in higher education programmes are welcome (MSc, PhD, life-long learning, postdoc), always with the goal to foster innovation and entrepreneurship.

• Debating about the “how”, the tools to create effectively such capacity building, the collaboration of different sectors, the funding mechanisms.

• As a specific action, a MSc programme collaboration is going to be structured as one of the main actions of the workshop.



Programme of the Workshop

The workshop is structured in sessions and round tables. The sessions are focused on the view of every speaker, with presentations of 20-25 minutes and a short debate afterwards. The round tables are focused on the debate, in such a way that the panelists summarize very briefly their concept in 5-10 minutes (with or without a presentation) and the development of the round table is essentially the debate of the speakers among themselves and with the audience, coordinated by a chairperson.

3 Workshop Wrap-up

Day 1: 19th of June of 2014

Welcome and introduction by Josep Bordonau (Academic Director, UDKIC, UPC, Spain)

Session 1: Capacity building concept in MPC area (11:30 h)

1st speaker: Badr IKKEN (CEO, IRESEN, Morocco)

The presentation is divided in three parts: I. Moroccan national energy strategy • Different areas in capacity building for universities:

-‐ Technical Training (Establishment of IFMEREEs). -‐ Degree Programs (Master degrees, PhD, etc.). -‐ Research and Innovation.

• IFMEREE: Training centers for technicians (Solar Energy). The first IFMEREEs are now in the construction phases in Oujda, Tangier and Ouarzazate.

II. The role of IRESEN (Institute for Solar Energy and New Energies) • IRESEN Foundation with public and private funding. • Supports the national energy strategy. • Supports programs from universities. • Research on human resources involved in renewable energy needs. • Financing different research projects of several universities with industrial partner involvement. • Financing training of human resources and professors, scientific equipment. • Financing different research and development facilities:

-‐ Green Energy Park: o The first research platform in North Africa in the field of Solar energy, o An important infrastructure that will encourage R&D and students training, o The idea is to develop different energy platforms (biomass, hydro, wind, etc.)

III. Capacity building through MAGHRENOV • Presentation shows ideas on how to collaborate within the Maghrenov project:

-‐ Through joining call for projects. -‐ Joining educational programs. -‐ Facilitating student and professor mobility.

Debate:

-‐ “Teaching universities vs. Research universities in Morocco”



2nd speaker: Souheil EL ALIMI (Director of the

Department of Energy Engineering, ENIM, Tunisia)

• Presents himself, his institution and country, how they select students. • ENIM: National Engineering School of Monastir. • Presents national context (energy). • School objective: train and teach energy engineers. • Presents the curricula for the 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year (last) 1 semester for the final degree

project. • Programme presents 2 summer internships and several industrial visits. • Further studies (PhD, master) are also possible. • Presents international cooperation:

-‐ Has any company approached for using AGORA? o There are companies interacting. o The number of researchers is higher than companies (interacting). o Kind of revolutionary tool which is working quite well.

-‐ Has any company approached for using KIC InnoEnergy tool? o Long term objective to have a very high impact with partners. o Contacting with partners takes a long time to convince them mostly for all the contacts

needed (mostly until you reach the CEO). o Idea is to present the tool to a lot of partners at the same time and have their feedback

and interest as they contact us. -‐ Specific masters within RE, for instance Master in PV, master in wind energy, etc.)

Main conclusions of the RT Private-Public partnership:

o There are tools for companies to interact with. o Maghrenov is in between research and business. o Explore different possibilities for post-doc international mobility within different contexts

(not only Maghrenov or CLUSTER). o Reaching a kind of agreement between companies to control the flow of experts so there is

no unbalance of brainpower between north and south of the consortium (companies forum in Casablanca).

o Analyse the existing master programmes to see what we can add.
