Introduction

Project Background

TU Berlin maintains contact with almost 33,500 alumni from different countries of the world through its alumni program. In the MENA region, this figure goes up to almost 1,000. In 2012, TU Berlin started a new endeavor with three master’s programs (Energy En-gineering, Urban Development and Water Engineering) establishing a satellite campus in Elgouna, Egypt. Since 2014, more than 120 students have graduated from TU Berlin Campus El Gouna and they have launched their own complementary alumni program. The first official breakthrough came in October 2016, through founding the “Alumni Club El Gouna” as a German registered association (e.V.) in which executive board members were elected from all three departments.

Two alumni seminars have been planned so far. The theme of the first Alumni Seminarwas “Urban Agriculture and Urban Gardening” which encompasses a variety of disciplines and a broad spectrum of possible sub-themes. The platform has broadcasted different mea-sures to contribute to the local (urban) food supply covering food security, urban health, education, income generation by building local value chains, reduction of land use and environmental footprint, energy savings through local production and positive effects on microclimate and water consumption, etc.

The first alumni seminar brought two diverse groups together. One group comprised of 16 alumni from TU Berlin Campus El Gouna and another group contained 16 alumni of diffe-rent generations from the general alumni of the TU Berlin.

The Second Alumni Seminar

The title of the second alumni seminar is “The Smart City: Urban, Energy and Water Solu-tions for Future Cities”. The seminar is funded by the WDAAD.

Economic, social, environmental, spatial and cultural challenges are steadily growing in the face of increasing urbanization and changing environmental conditions. A key challenge for sustainable cities is to develop innovative and tailor-made concepts and implementa-tion strategies for infrastructures and individual requirements in urban areas. The „Smart City” propaganda is such type of innovative, resource efficient, modern ideology which is currently being adopted by different cities in the world.

Introduction

TU Berlin is offering several interventions in that direction. It has already developed a Smart City Platform within the framework of Urban Lab. The alumni will gain insight into this platform and to the current research through presentations by TU scientists and ex-ternal experts. Furthermore, they will visit different sites in Berlin and Hannover to get the impressions of the real field. They will also attend several architectural tours, Hannover Messe Exposium and stakeholder workshops to feel the addons of the future cities. In or-der to promote dialogue and provide specific input, the alumni will also share their count-ries experiences through their own contributions.

Event Participants

25 Alumni from Urban Development, Energy Engineering and Water Engineering depart-ments of TU Berlin Campus El Gouna and 18 Alumni from other programs of TU Berlin will join in this event.

AHMED ALY

Aarhus, [email protected]

The more he reflects on the essence of sustainability, the more he reali-zes its multidimensionality and that it is far from being achieved merely through advanced technology. He visualizes the renewable energy as an alternative to gradually escape the trap of the global fossil fuel-based economy that are ruining our world (on different scales; politics, economy,

environment, values …etc.). Renewables enable the fuel transition from “Reserves” to “Resources”. His current PhD research focuses on the large-scale solar power (CSP and PV) prospects in Sub-Sa-haran Africa, with a case study on Tanzania. He has completed his masters from Energy Enginee-ring department of TU Berlin campus El Gouna. After his PhD, he is eager to work on the Energy-Water-Food nexus, as he thinks an integrated ap-proach is required to tackle such strategic challenges rather than the conventional linear model. He sees multidisciplinary work on such synergies as a way to realize genuine sustainable solutions.
