UM6P-Benguerir, May 14, 15 & 16, 2024
The International Conference on Energy in Africa, national, regional, and local energy mix (EAMix), is jointly organized by Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Benguerir and the Developing Countries Committee (COPED) of the French Academy of Sciences. The conference is supported by the Office chérifien des Phosphates (OCP), the Hassan II Academy of Sciences and Technology, and the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC), all of which have endorsed the objectives of this conference.
The COPED of the Academy of Sciences and the IRD (Institute of research for development) support the participation of African students and young researchers by covering their travel expenses from their laboratory to the conference (through participation grants). These African researchers will be selected by a scientific committee based on their CV, the submitted abstracts, and their financial situation. Additionally, for all PhD and Post-Doc wishing to contribute to this event, registration and accommodation are free of charge.
The International Conference on “Energy in Africa, national, regional and local energy Mix (EAMix)” addresses pivotal aspects of energy in Africa. It is intended as an opportunity to strengthen regional cooperation by bringing together Moroccan and African experts and researchers in the fields of energy to discuss African energy challenges and contribute to proposing solutions and approaches to stimulate and support the continent sustainable energy strategies. At the end of this conference, different actions and mechanisms will be identified and recommended to enhance access to different forms of energy in Africa. Moreover, the conference will serve as a platform to initiate new regional, national and international collaborations in research and technological development covering a diverse range of research area.
The Coped Mini-Forum took place in Paris on the 29th and 30th of November 2022. It brought together over 30 experts from Canada and 6 African countries (Morocco, Algeria, Togo, Ethiopia, Ghana) alongside their French counterparts. Following this meeting, it was agreed to delve deeper into discussions regarding energy in its various forms within Africa. Morocco, supported by all the participating countries of the Mini-Forum, has volunteered to host an international conference on African energy in Benguerir, open to national and international stakeholders.

The department Chemical & Biochemical Sciences, Green Process Engineering (CBS) is a Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) component. The main objective of CBS is to set up an original research-teaching program, of international level, to meet the challenges of UM6P in terms of research and teaching in particularaly in chemistry and green processes with an environmental and sustainable impact. CBS is interested in all chemical, biochemical, and green process engineering aspects. Research at CBS is organized around several major areas, which aim to answer relevant industrial questions, to implement nationally adaptable solutions to support the Moroccan industry and economy and its independence. The CBS projects aim to understand in depth the molecular mechanisms of all transformations to propose new alternatives in terms of efficiency, environmental impact and sustainability.
