About the event

Session 1: Energy Modelling Cluster (14:00 CET - 16:00 CET)

This LEAP-RE clustering session brings together leading African and European researchers working on energy system modelling to share insights, compare approaches, and explore synergies across ongoing projects. The session will focus on three interlinked themes:

  1. Energy planning challenges in Africa – from rural electrification and industrial applications to national-level strategies.
  2. Energy modelling approaches – highlighting tools and methods used by the speakers and their projects.
  3. Data availability and collection – practical challenges and innovative solutions for generating reliable input data.


Session 2: Water Energy Food Nexus (16:00 CET - 18:00 CET)
 
This session explores the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus as an integrated approach to sustainable development, resilience, and innovation in Africa. By examining the WEF nexus as a project framework, the session will unpack why it offers a more holistic and effective strategy compared to traditional sectoral approaches. Discussions will address the challenges and opportunities shaping resilient WEF systems, while also spotlighting emerging innovations and the barriers that slow their development and adoption. Through practical case insights, participants will gain an understanding of how WEF innovations can be scaled up and sustained across African contexts. The session further emphasizes the critical role of partnerships between governments, the private sector, and civil society in driving innovation and resilience within the WEF space.
